The St-Germain® liqueur house and the Molitor rooftop terrace renew their collaboration. The program includes an attractive cocktail menu on the theme of the Olympic Games and the organizing cities.

In 2023, St-Germain® and Molitor have signed a three-year partnership. The aim? To create cocktail collections for the hotel and its rooftop. This year, 2024 is synonymous with the Olympic Games in France. For the occasion, St-Germain® liqueur has created an exclusive collection of cocktails inspired by this theme. Each unique recipe is a celebration of the spirit and heritage of the emblematic cities that hosted this global event.

A collection in tribute to the Olympic rings

All summer long, the French elderflower liqueur plunges the entire rooftop of the Hôtel Molitor into a unique floral universe, where every detail has been carefully thought out. Like the chairs adorned with the little elderflower, symbolizing the elegance and refinement of St-Germain®. Guests come here to enjoy delicate cocktails in an enchanting setting.

No fewer than six new creations have been created to satisfy mixology enthusiasts. From Paris to Los Angeles, via Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro, each drink pays tribute to the culture, flavors and history of these Olympic cities.
