St-germain spritz with elderflower liqueur, the ultra-fresh summer cocktail
We all know the famous Apérol Spritz cocktail with its beautiful orange color that we love to enjoy very chilled oustide on summer days :-) But today, we decided to tackle the St-Germain Spritz, also called "White Spritz" and "Hugo Spritz", a completely different variant of the Spritz made with St-Germain liqueur (which is an elderflower liqueur), lemon and mint. In addition to being simple, quick and easy to make, this cocktail will delight all floral and fruity flavors lovers! This drink will be the perfect mix between Italian and French traditions at party time ;-)
