    I received a bottle of Elderflower liquer as a gift. I've had some great cocktails but never wrote down the ingredients. Could anyone contribute some tasty drinks using this wonderful concoction?

    I would recommend going to the St. Germain website. They have a ton of recipes:

    One of my favorites is the French Gimlet which is two parts vodka or gin, one part St. Germain and 1/2 part lime juice. Nice and refreshing on a day like this!

    I believe it was our own Alchemist who dubbed elderflower liqueur, specifically St. Germain (though there are others), "MSG for bartenders". Anywhere you're using simple syrup, St. Germain can probably be added as well or instead.

    Try adding it to a simple gin sour to turn the White Lady into a Mademoiselle.

    The Part & Parcel is great (go with gin over vodka in my opinion).
