Notes
Optional Variations
It’s hard to improve on the perfection of this St Germain Spritz, but I welcome you to try. Here are the first ideas that come to mind:
- Swap in another floral liqueur for either St Germain or violet liqueur, like rose or jasmine.
- Make a simple violet-elderflower mimosa by skipping the ice and sparkling water.
-
- Invest in a champagne stopper. If you love sparkling wine, there isn’t a single better $5 purchase I can recommend!
- Go nuts with your garnish. The easiest way to make happy hour at home feel as fancy as a night on the town? Add garnishes to your drinks!
- Keep your bubbles on ice. The ideal temperature for sparkling wine is 40-50F.
