The St-Germain Moment Du Jour – an Instagram-based initiative aimed towards helping people differentiate weekdays from weekends during social distancing. For the series, St-Germain is teaming up with global artisans and bartenders to share creative tips and tricks for elevating weekend rituals. In advance of Mother’s Day weekend, we wanted to share a few specially curated tips for celebrating mom – with elegant cocktails to pair.
Vegas pop art artist Koa Paden @koapaden will share a tip on how to pamper your mom with a well-deserved escape beyond your four walls by painting your dream vacation destination, while sipping on the tropical and refreshing Paint Your Escape cocktail created by Brooklyn Bartender Brian Evans. Made with St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, lime juice, and coconut sorbet (among other delicious ingredients), it’s the perfect staycation drink for a special Sunday toast to Mom.
As the second tip in advance of Mother’s Day weekend, New York-based food blogger Ewa Ko @nom_life will share a tip on how to make an ordinary evening special for your significant other or your mom by making a new cocktail to enjoy at home and getting all dressed up, even if there’s nowhere to go. Throw on an outfit you were excited to wear, break out the fancy glassware and mix up the Madame in Rouge cocktail created by Miami’s own Danilo Dacha Bozovc, a swanky mixture of pomegranate, lemon, and St-Germain. Voila! You’ve got yourself a special Moment Du Jour.
