Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about a new artisan elderflower liquor called St-Germain. I found a recipe for a St-Germain cocktail in this month’s issue of Living. It’s quickly become my favorite summer drink, as evidenced by the empty bottle…
The Gemini
(Makes 2)
- 4 ounces grapefruit juice, strained
- 3 ounces St-Germain liqueur
- 2 ounces vodka
- Ice cubes
- Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)
- 2 grapefruit-rind twists
Directions:
- Mix grapefruit juice, St-Germain, vodka, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into 2 chilled glasses. Top with Prosecco.
- Serve each with a grapefruit twist.

Are you drinking these for breakfast? How was your anniversary?

Sounds delicious! Do you have a good Sangria recipe?

I didn’t drink it for breakfast, though I think given the juice to alcohol ration, it wouldn’t be out of the question! And, Liana, funny you should ask about Sangria—we had it while out Friday night and it was fabulous. I definitely want to make it. I am thinking about trying this recipe:
