How to Make a St. Germain Cocktail (5 Steps)

The St. Germain cocktail is an old-time drink invented by Harry Craddock in 1924. Craddock was a bartender at The Savoy Hotel in London, England, and he often made unique drinks for his regular customers and important guests as well as his own personal enjoyment. Craddock published a cocktail recipe book in 1930 entitled, "The Savoy Cocktail Book." This recipe is based on Craddock's, though it has been updated just a bit for modern tastes.
