Hints and Tips
Make the cocktail extra bubbly and substitute soda with Prosecco. If you do not have a cocktail stamper, feel free to use a small wooden or plastic rolling pin in side the shaker. 1 shot is equivalent to 25ml.Can I substitute the ingredients?
St-Germain spritz is easy to make, you can substitute St-Germain with Fiorente (Italian elderflower liquor). I prefer to use St-Germain as it is commonly available in the supermarkets.
Instead of Cointreau you could use Gran Marnier is another French orange flavoured liquor.
In my opinion, you could be as flexible as you wish.
