Gin and St Germain cocktails to try
Cocktail Colin says:
The best cocktails that combine gin and St Germain style elderflower liqueur are Comte de Sureau, Primrose, and an Elderflower Gin & Tonic.
If you want something direct and elegant, Comte de Sureau is the purest pairing here: just dry gin and elderflower liqueur, stirred and served cold, so the gin botanicals and floral sweetness stay front and centre.
For a more layered, aperitif leaning drink, Primrose adds Aperol, lemon juice and peach bitters alongside dry gin and elderflower liqueur. The result is brighter and more bittersweet, with the elderflower rounding off the citrus.
If you would rather keep things long and refreshing, Elderflower Gin & Tonic is a simple highball that lets you dial in the balance by topping with tonic to taste.
A couple of nearby options if you are happy to explore beyond the exact gin plus St Germain combo:
- Gin Garden Martini uses elderflower cordial for a lighter, greener profile.
- The St Germain is a sparkling spritz built around elderflower liqueur, bubbles and soda.
