St-Germain was created in 2007 by third-generation distiller Robert J. Cooper, who was inspired by the classic Parisian neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It quickly gained legendary status among global bartenders as the ultimate cocktail modifier, often referred to as the bartender's ketchup.
Each bottle of St-Germain is crafted using up to one thousand fresh, wild elderflowers hand-harvested in the foothills of the French Alps. The delicate blossoms are quickly macerated using traditional techniques to capture their volatile, naturally aromatic essence.
