Product Details

Praise

“A simple, straightforward read—complete with pretty, let-it-be-summer-already photos by Lizzie Munro—that intersperses short essays about each drinking period of the day (brunch, aperitif hour, the nightcap) with recipes from top bartenders to fit them.”
Dan Q. Dao, Saveur


Praise for St-Germain liqueur:

“I love working with St-Germain. It’s the perfect sort of liqueur to experiment with.”
—Gary Regan, author of The Joy of Mixology

“Maybe the best new liqueur released in the last two decades, St-Germain is a revelation due to its delicacy and its unique flavor.”
Spirit Journal

“St-Germain is a truly artisan product, produced with real craftsmanship.”
—Audrey Saunders, owner of Pegu Club

“An instant classic.”
—Jim Meehan, owner of PDT
