| Glass: | Old-fashioned |
| Garnish: | White grapes on stick |
| Method: | SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass (without ice). |
| Comment: | Elderflower liqueur mellows and boosts floral notes in the cognac with the merest dash of absinthe dries and adds a robust hint of aniseed.
|
| Origin: | Created in 2006 by Simon Difford at The Cabinet Room, London, England. The name is a reference to the Parisian district of St-Germain lying on the left bank of the River Seine and also a nod to the use of absinthe and its pre-war ban in France, partly due to the belief that it induced insanity. |
