ST-GERMAIN® Is Putting the Spark in Sparkling Celebrations with New Winter Garden at Rabble in Edinburgh

December 2022: ST-GERMAIN® – the world’s first liqueur expertly crafted from wild-grown, hand-picked, fresh elderflowers – is putting the spark in sparkling with the launch of their spectacular winter garden at Rabble in Edinburgh.

ST-GERMAIN has added a dash of decadent inspiration to the winter garden from delicious cocktails to sparkling baubles and joyful florals in collaboration with Wild Flowers Edinburgh. Alongside ST-GERMAIN signature cocktails, the unique ‘No Love Lost’ cocktail comes with two hearts locked together where you can write a message on the padlock and attach it to the Love Lock Railing outside, reminiscent of the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris.

To add a further dash of inspiration to your sparkling celebration, Rabble will be home to Le Royale Dash. With one gentle press, Le Royale Dash simultaneously serves the perfect dash of ST-GERMAIN Elderflower Liqueur into two champagne flutes for the delicious ST-GERMAIN Royale Cocktail. Rabble is the only place in Edinburgh to experience this!

In addition to the joyful winter garden, there is a special Wreath Making Workshop which includes 2 x ST-GERMAIN cocktails on 6th December 2022 where you can learn how to elevate your own Christmas decorations this festive season.

ST-GERMAIN always brings a dash of inspiration and a touch of something playful and unexpected to your favourite sparkling cocktail, be that a Spritz, Royale or a favourite of your own choosing. The wild, natural sweetness of hundreds of fresh elderflowers gives ST-GERMAIN a transformative flavour that is unforgettable once tasted: indulgent, yet delicate with a fresh natural sweetness and hints of honeysuckle and pear.

The ST-GERMAIN Sparkling Celebration Winter Garden is open now until the end of February 2023 with Wreath Making on Tuesday, 6th December.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About ST-GERMAIN®

In 2007, Rob Cooper, a third-generation distiller, engaged some of the world’s top mixologists and traditional French liqueur producers to create ST-GERMAIN®. An exciting innovation in a tired liqueur category, lovingly referred to as Vie Parisienne en Bouteille, or “Parisian Life in a Bottle.” The secret to the liqueur’s allure and early success is the fresh, handpicked wild elderflower blossoms gathered each Spring in the foothills throughout Europe.

Intrinsically French, seductively Parisian, ST-GERMAIN® combines traditional French savoir-faire with handpicked wild elderflowers, every bottle is a celebration of the unique spirit of 1920s Paris.

Thanks to its unique flavour, versatility and elegance, ST-GERMAIN® has earned a certain célébrité. The New York Times remarked that ST-GERMAIN® is “one of the most influential cocktail components introduced in the last decade.”

The drink has won an array of awards, including four consecutive Grand Gold medals from Monde Selection, and the Chairman’s Award at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

A dalliance with Champagne, a fling with gin: ST-GERMAIN® is happy to mingle. It has a reputation for elevating just about any cocktail you mix it with. Those in the trade refer to it as ‘bartender’s salt and pepper’ for the way it enriches any drinks experience.

The brand is now part of the Bacardi portfolio, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, and continues to be the market leader of the category. Acquired in 2013, ST-GERMAIN® has retained its artisanal roots in the creation of its liquid.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: intense floral, elderflower notes combined with citrusy elements and a hint of passion fruit.

Palate: tropical fruits, grapefruit and pear, with a hint of honeysuckle.

Colour: pale yellow with gold tonality, 100% comes from the elderflower extract.

In creating ST-GERMAIN®, no preservatives, additives or stabilisers are used. Thus, its pale golden colour may eventually darken over time. This is perfectly natural and will not alter the taste.

The ST-GERMAIN® Spritz

Savour the moment with our most iconic cocktail! Pour ST-GERMAIN® over ice into your glass. Top with prosecco and soda water. Give the drink a good stir. Gently twist a lemon peel on top of your drink and add edible flowers (optional).

The ST-GERMAIN® Royale

Pour ST-GERMAIN® into a chilled Champagne glass (from freezer). Top with Champagne, stir, garnish with a blackberry on the rim of the glass, and voilà: The ST-GERMAIN® Royale!
