Need a cocktail for relaxing in the garden on a warm day or an alternative to a gin and tonic? Then give the English Garden a whirl, which balances the crisp clean flavor of cucumber, the slight sweetness of St. Germain and the delicate aromatics of rose.

“If at first you don’t succeed, failure may be your style.”
― Quentin Crisp
I was not immediately convinced of St. Germain elderflower liquor. I found its sweetness a bit cloying in my first experimentations, until I learned how to tame it.
I created this cocktail in honor of the great writer and raconteur, Quentin Crisp. Crisp had a sharp, biting wit, tempered with a grandfather-like kindness; this cocktail attempts to represent that dichotomy, with the tartness of grapefruit mellowed with the mellow sweetness of St. Germain.
