Season 7 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” brought more than just drama to viewers’ screens.

In the episode, Leakes asks the server, β€œCan I give you a little recipe?” Clearly, this was a favorite cocktail recipe of one of Atlanta’s finest. From that point on, the spritz and the St-Germain floral liqueur quickly became a fan favorite, taking over many cocktail bars around, offering fans a taste of luxury that only Leakes herself can provide.

For those not aware, long before Leakes introduced the cocktail, the St-Germain Spritz was around for quite some time and enjoyed by socialites and tastemakers alike. This refreshing beverage is an easy go-to for any season and occasion. All you need is a St-Germain liqueur, Prosecco or sparkling wine, club soda, ice cubes, and a slice of lemon or edible flower. The rules are very simple.

Long after the season wrapped, the buzzy beverage continues to be a talking point among fans. Ahead, we break down the classic drink and how to make the legendary St-Germain Spritz at home.
