Diving into the world of cocktails can be a scary decision to make. Beer and wine are simple and very difficult to stray from because they’re reliable and consistent. There are only a few types of wines and a few types of beers, but when it comes to cocktails, the possibilities are truly endless. From intricately crafted specialty cocktails to the classic cocktails, being brave enough to venture further into the world of alcohol can be tough. We’re here to tell you that with a little bit of research you can find cocktails that you will surely love. If you’re a fan of sweeter wines, prosecco cocktails should be where you start your search.

St. Germain Cocktail

Some of the most balanced and elegant cocktails are those with the fewest ingredients. You can head over to that trendy restaurant down the street and find a cocktail list where each one has like 5+ ingredients and be overwhelmed. Now, we’re not saying they can’t be good, but sometimes too many ingredients can be overkill.

What is a St. Germain cocktail?

It is the perfect blend of summer afternoon sipping and wild Friday night. The St. Germain, vodka, gin, and prosecco pack enough punch to make this drink a “sip with caution” because they will disappear fast. St. Germain is an elderflower liqueur that is pleasantly floral, sweet, but not sugary, and extremely versatile.
