~Today's Cocktail vol.234~
Good evening, everyone!
Today is Sunday, May 24th.
The hustle and bustle of the enjoyable weekend is gradually settling down, and the view outside the window feels like a Sunday night where the world is quietly catching its breath in preparation for the new week starting tomorrow.
As an office worker, this time just before the calendar flips to Monday is mixed with a touch of melancholy. However, that is precisely why this is the time of day when a drink to reward yourself tastes the most delicious.
Tonight, I would like to introduce this gorgeous and sweet liquor that gently nestles up to the hearts of those who work hard for others.
The birthday drink for today, May 24th, is...
St. Germain
Liquor word: A hardworking person who spares no effort to cooperate as much as possible
🍸 What kind of liquor is St. Germain?
It is an "Elderflower" liqueur with a very gorgeous and elegant aroma reminiscent of muscat, pear, or lychee.
テイスト： 溢れんばかりのフローラルな香りと、自然で優しい甘み。
白ワインやシャンパン、ソーダで割る「サンジェルマン・スプリッツ」にすると、日曜の夜にふさわしい、軽やかで至福の味わいになります。
見た目： ボトルの中に閉じ込められた、淡く美しく輝く黄金色。
アルコール度数： 約20度（リキュール単体）。炭酸などで割ることで、アルコールが強くない方でも美味しく楽しめます。
製法： ビルド（グラスに氷と材料を入れて軽く混ぜるだけ。ご自宅でも簡単に作れるのが魅力です）。🍸 Cocktail Column: Cocktail Trivia
🌼 The crystallization of "effort" blooms in the glass
This liqueur called St. Germain is actually made with a great deal of time and effort.
The main ingredient, elderflower, blooms for only a few weeks at the end of spring. Moreover, to ensure the flowers are not damaged, artisans ride bicycles to the mountains and harvest them one by one by "hand."The harvested flowers have their extract extracted in a fresh state immediately before the aroma dissipates.
This gorgeous and elegant taste was by no means born like magic. It is the fruit of tremendous labor and the cooperation of artisans, far removed from efficiency.
🛍️ Ingredients to make at home
On a Sunday night, why not put ice in your favorite glass and spend a quiet time with the sound of fizzing carbonation as background music? The St. Germain Spritz is also attractive for its simplicity, as it can be completed just by mixing.
■ St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
A premium liqueur made from hand-picked elderflowers, characterized by its gorgeous aroma and gentle sweetness. The beautiful Art Deco-style bottle also elevates the mood as an interior decoration for your room.
■ Martini Prosecco (Dry Sparkling Wine)
A crisp, dry Italian sparkling wine that enhances the sweetness and aroma of St-Germain. It pairs perfectly as a base for a spritz.
■ Wilkinson Tansan (Carbonated Water)
The strong carbonation allows the rich aroma of the elderflower to spread softly throughout the glass.
💌 A message for you, born on May 24th
A hardworking person who spares no effort to cooperate.
Whether in a work team or at home, I believe you are someone who is always looking out for those around you and can generously offer your time and effort for others. That devoted attitude, much like hand-picked elderflowers, surely adds a sudden, gorgeous fragrance to the daily lives of those you interact with.
However, at least on Sunday nights, please use your time only for yourself, not for someone else. The gentle sweetness of St-Germain will surely quietly reward you for your daily efforts.
A toast to your endless kindness and a quiet night
Thank you for reading until the end!
During this time as Sunday transitions into Monday, it feels as though a special kind of stillness drifts over the entire city.
Pausing for just a moment to take a deep breath before the new week begins tomorrow. I would be happy if the gorgeous aroma of this carefully crafted liqueur could gently accompany you during such a modest reset time.
Please, tonight, relax your shoulders and spend some time at your leisure.
Wishing you a peaceful and wonderful Sunday night.
