Season 7 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” brought more than just drama to viewers’ screens. While the cast’s trip to Puerto Rico is often remembered for the spirited conversation between Claudia Jordan and Nene Leakes, beverage enthusiasts found themselves holding on to a different highlight: The infamous St-Germain Spritz cocktail.

In the episode, Leakes asks the server, “Can 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.
