Part guide to drinking French cocktails, part compilation of world famous mixologists’ recipes, How to Drink French Fluently by Drew Lazor is the ultimate cocktail handbook. 

A classic spritz variation fueled by the iconic elderflower liqueur, the St-Germain Cocktail embodies the spirit of low-alcohol conviviality prevalent throughout Europe. Light, floral, and refreshing, it’s a warm-weather go-to, easy in both execution and drinkability.

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients over ice in a Collins glass. Stir gently, and garnish with the lemon twist.
