A few notes on making this:
- This drink uses St. Germain, a lightly sweet and floral French liqueur made from elderflowers. It is named for the French author Victor Hugo
- Stir the mint gently into the St. Germain to release the mint flavor into the cocktail and avoid bruising which can cause bitterness.
- This drink works well served with a straw.
