What Is a St-Germain Spritz?
A St-Germain Spritz is a floral and refreshing cocktail that combines elderflower liqueur with sparkling wine and soda water.
The drink has a lighter and more delicate character than many bitter aperitivo cocktails. St-Germain contributes fragrant elderflower and fruit notes, while the sparkling wine and soda water add freshness and lift.
The cocktail can be assembled directly in a large wine glass and does not require a shaker or specialist equipment. This makes it easy to prepare for dinner parties, summer afternoons, celebrations and drinks with friends.
What Is a Hugo Spritz?
The Hugo Spritz is a popular elderflower cocktail commonly made with sparkling wine, elderflower liqueur, soda water, mint and lime.
St-Germain works naturally in this style of drink, providing the elderflower flavour at the centre of the cocktail. Fresh mint and citrus add aroma and balance, creating a crisp and refreshing serve.
The terms “St-Germain Spritz” and “Hugo Spritz” are often used for closely related elderflower cocktails. Recipes vary, so the recipient can adjust the proportions and garnishes according to taste.
How to Make a St-Germain Spritz
A simple elderflower Spritz can be made using:
- 3 parts Cornaro Caterina Frizzante
- 1 part St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- A splash of soda water
To prepare:
- Fill a large wine glass with plenty of ice.
- Pour in three parts chilled Cornaro Caterina Frizzante.
- Add one part St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur.
- Finish with a splash of soda water.
- Stir gently.
- Garnish with fresh mint and a slice of lime or lemon.
Adding the Frizzante first helps preserve its bubbles. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing too much sparkle.
For a lighter drink, add more soda water. For a sweeter and more floral Spritz, increase the amount of St-Germain slightly.
St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur 50cl
St-Germain is a French elderflower liqueur known for its fragrant floral character and subtle notes of citrus and tropical fruit.
Its delicate flavour makes it a versatile cocktail ingredient. Alongside the St-Germain Spritz and Hugo Spritz, it can be added to sparkling wine, gin cocktails, vodka drinks and a variety of refreshing long serves.
The 50cl bottle provides enough St-Germain for multiple cocktails, allowing the recipient to enjoy the set across several occasions or prepare drinks for guests.

Cornaro Caterina Frizzante 75cl
Cornaro Caterina Frizzante provides the sparkling wine element of the gift set. Frizzante describes a gently sparkling Italian wine with a lighter level of fizz than a fully sparkling Spumante wine.
Its fresh and lively style complements the floral sweetness of St-Germain without overpowering it. Serve the bottle well chilled before mixing.
Any remaining Frizzante can also be enjoyed on its own or used to prepare another round of elderflower Spritzes.
Why Choose a St-Germain Spritz Gift Set?
The Cru St-Germain Spritz Gift Set provides the two principal bottles in one gift-ready package. The recipient only needs to add soda water, ice, fresh mint and a citrus garnish.
It is particularly well suited to:
- Christmas gifts for St-Germain lovers

- Summer parties and barbecues
