About St. Elder
St. Elder Natural Elderflower Liqueur is handcrafted in small batches in Massachusetts. It is built from an extract of fresh elderflower blossoms layered into a clean liqueur base, with the flowers giving it a delicate, springtime aroma. Elderflower is one of the most charming flavors in the cordial world, and St. Elder leans into it with natural flavors and a light, approachable style. It has become a popular choice for bartenders who want that floral note in a cocktail.
Tasting Notes
Light, floral, and gently sweet, with notes of sweet citrus and a honeyed, blossomy character. It is fresh and aromatic rather than heavy, finishing clean with that signature elderflower perfume.
What to Pair It With
St. Elder is wonderfully mixable. It is lovely topped with sparkling wine or soda for a spritz, stirred into a gin cocktail, or sipped over ice on a warm afternoon. Its bright, floral edge plays nicely with lighter starters from the Sparrow dinner menu, like the Fresh Oysters or the Spring Arugula Salad. Enjoy a spritz out on our four-season patio, and catch our daily happy hour from 3 to 5 PM.
