Fill a Collin’s glass with 1 oz of St-Germain Artisanale Liqueur, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 2 oz of each of Lillet (or Prosecco white wine) and chilled club soda (or tonic water/lemonade) over ice cubes. Mix with a stirrer and serve with a lemon peel.
[Alternately, only a few little variations can give you a glass of chilled St-Germain-infused mojito or the cocktail ‘Hugo’. For mojito, simply replace the wine with white rum and mix all the ingredients over a few muddled basil and mint leaves. For Hugo, pour the Prosecco, club soda and St-Germain over ice and lightly-crushed mint leaves and serve.]
