Sparkling Elderflower Lemonade

St. Germain is one of my new found loves and I’ve been putting it in all of my cocktails this summer. This Sparkling Elderflower Lemonade is a happy by-product of this summer of experimentation!

The drink is light and floral while also crisp and bubbly to make a great cocktail for those really hot summer days. It’s a perfect weekend brunch drinks, or drink to sit on your porch at dusk and relax

How do you make a sparkling elderflower lemonade?

Luckily it’s super easy! You’ll just mix a few ingredients in a glass over ice and stir. Easy peasy. Here’s what you’ll need:

• St. Germain
• Lemonade
• Champagne
• Club Soda

That’s it! It would also be really easy to make a big batch of and serve in a pitcher for times that you have guests over!

Do you need to use champagne? 

Not necessarily! You can use champagne, prosecco, a basic sparkling white wine, or cava to give the drink a little extra bubble.

You could also try sparkling rose for a different twist! It’ll give a drink a lovely pink color which would be so fun for a bridal shower or baby shower.

If you’re looking for a mocktail to serve for those who don’t drink, this Grape Lemonade is a perfect addition to the menu!

What is St. Germain?

St. Germain is an elderflower liqueur that is such a unique flavor! It’s made from the elderflower which is found in the French Alps. 

The elderflower is a small off-white flower that gives drinks a really lovely floral taste and aroma.
