Sips & Tips
Technique
St-Germain replaces the triple sec for a more floral, sophisticated take on the Cosmo. Shake hard for proper dilution and a slight froth.
Balance
The elderflower adds a honeyed, floral sweetness that's more complex than orange liqueur. Use less cranberry than a classic Cosmo — the St-Germain provides enough sweetness.
