i need some help! i am the sketchy person who when walking the dog and loving on people's yards actually takes photos of things about them that i like. these plants i love...however i have no idea what they are. my trip to pike's won't happen until next week but i'd love to know what this is [or if anyone has any guesses]...

st. germain french 75

in CB this year we had the best cocktail! here is the best recipe i've been able to recreate! the trick may be the fact that i have an amazing simple syrup maker of a hubby too!


St. Germain French 75stir together over ice:

2 ounces gin (Hendricks has a great note that pairs well with the elderflower)
2 ounces St. Germain (no substituting this...it is a liqueur made of elderflower blossoms hand picked with love in France)
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup

Strain into glass with ice & top with 2-3 ounces of sparkling wine/champagne
