The Drink: It’s a beer cocktail, baby! We adapted this one from Chow’s Dirty Flower recipe. We nixed the grapefruit and Ludacris’d it up with a Southern wheat beer. Instead of making a pitcher of it and passing out, we altered it to a single serving.
- 2 oz gin – we used Plymouth
- 1 oz St-Germain
- 3/4 oz lemon juice (fresh to death)
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 2 dash orange bitters
- Southern wheat beer – we used Yazoo’s Hefeweizen (Nashville brewery love)
Put a handful of ice in a pint glass.
Pour all of the ingredients, minus the beer, and stir ’em up.
Top with beer, garnish with a big lemon peel.
The Glass: Target pint glass.

I made this last weekend and made another one just now. Personally, I found it to be a little better without 1/2 oz of simple syrup than the 3/4 oz. Regardless, it is a very good drink.

Trip – St. Germain is so amazing. You will absolutely LOVE this drink. Also, LADIES LOVE ST G, so thats why I keep it stocked, always.
Caroline Fontenot says
Trip, the St-Germain flavor in this is really subtle. But there are tons of great cocktails with it that I’d Definitely recommend getting a bottle.

I feel like I’ve never had a reason to buy St. Germain, but I think this looks like a pretty good one.
