Preparation
Shopping List
St. Germain is our sweet element and is a liqueur that is made from fresh wild elderflowers that are picked in the wild. It has a honeysuckle like flavor with hints of peach, orange, grapefruit and pear.
For my sparkling wine I chose Il Follo Extra Dry Prosecco. Feel free to use any sparkling you can get your hands on, just be sure to choose something dry. I like prosecco and cava for cocktails because there are some really high quality options without breaking the bank.
Aromatic bitters help to balance all of the flavors and bring the cocktail together. For this cocktail I'm using Wilks & Wilson Orange Bitters.

Mixology
It really doesn't get much easier for this one! Pour 1 ounce of St. Germain in a champagne flute add a couple of dashes of orange bitters and top with sparkling wine. Give it a stir or two with a spoon and garnish with the peel of an Orange.
