Heya, Mike! I mixed this up for Russell on Saturday. He’s more a fan of sweet than sour, so we kept upping the elderflower till it was good for him. The final count was 1 1/2oz St Germain, 2oz Hendrick’s gin, 1oz lemon juice. I’ve just made it again for myself the same way, and thought you’d like to know.

Cheers!

Yum, that sounds delish! I love St. Germain, but have not yet experimented mixing with it.
PS – Um, I think you might mean soixante-dix-sept

[...] was quite the fun- (and food-) filled weekend for us. We kicked things off with some fun cocktails made with St. Germain elderflower liqueur, and later dined on smoky, crispy soft-shell crab [...]

Oops! We have the same booklet. The recipe is on the website, not in the booklet.

Ha, too funny. How many times have you invented a drink, only to realize it’s already been done? Glad we planted the seed for you!

But the funny thing is: the 77 isn’t in the copy of the booklet we have. We’ve got The St-Germain Cocktail (equal parts bubbly and StG topped with soda water), the previously mentioned French Apple Martini (1.5 apple vodka, 2 StG, 0.25 lemon) the Mojito Parisian (mint, rum, StG, lime, and the Martini de Sureau (vodka, StG, pinapple, lemon). I wonder if they’re putting different drinks in different batches of booklets.
