Brand-New Short Film Spotlights Internationally Acclaimed Actress Inviting the World to 'Sip Into Something Fresher' As She Crafts the Perfect ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz

Turner's global campaign with ST-GERMAIN expands in its second year, serving up celebrated chef collaborations, a French Riviera-inspired NYC pop-up, and a fresh new wave of creative content

HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, ST-GERMAIN^® Elderflower Liqueur announces a dazzling second act, with actress and global style icon Sophie Turner celebrating the return of the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz as the ultimate cocktail of the season. Last year, Sophie chose to take a fresher path, and this year, she continues to embrace the lighter side of life with a ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz in hand. Sophie stars in a rom-com-inspired sequel to last year's campaign short film, only this time around, she's the one stepping behind the bar. With her signature wit (and lack of culinary prowess), Sophie shows fans just how simple it is to elevate everyday spritz moments with a touch of French flair and the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz. The campaign will continue throughout the season, with culinary digital content collaborations helping Sophie enhance her skills in the kitchen, while activations around the globe, including a "La Terrasse" pop-up at Nordstrom's New York City flagship, give guests a chance to bask in the beauty of living brightly.

"I'm thrilled to continue my partnership with ST-GERMAIN, a brand that not only embodies my philosophy of embracing the lighter side of life, but also makes me look pretty good behind a bar," shares Sophie Turner. "I'm excited to finally show off my bartending skills in this summer's sequel and, whist I might not be a chef, when it comes to making the perfect drink, I've definitely found my signature – the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz." 

As the spritz continues its reign as one of the hottest cocktail trends — now ranked as the #3 most popular cocktail in the U.S, **— people are searching for new ways to spritz, demanding creativity and choice from their drinks. Google search volume for the ST-GERMAIN Spritz grew +49% and +122% for its Italian cousin, the Hugo Spritz* in 2024, proving that this elegant spritz variation's popularity is only continuing to rise as it delivers a lighter, brighter taste profile, one that modern drinkers are gravitating towards. The new campaign invites viewers to break away from the ordinary and sip into something fresher and sweeter with the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz, crafted with ST-GERMAIN Elderflower Liqueur, prosecco, sparkling water, and finished with a mint sprig and lime wedge.

"We were thrilled to see how last year's campaign resonated with audiences, much like the continued rise of the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz, which has grown year-over-year from trending cocktail to summer menu favorite," said Emma Fox, Global Vice President of ST-GERMAIN. "Sophie Turner has played a key role in introducing spritz lovers to the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz's lighter, fresher, and subtly sweet taste profile. Her effortless charm and joyful spirit continue to make her an ideal partner for the brand. We're excited to unveil the next chapter of this campaign and inspire even more people to elevate their drinking occasions with the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz."

ST-GERMAIN's campaign will extend with activations at the world's most vibrant events and hotspots throughout the summer, serving up a taste of joyful Riviera playfulness across the globe. From the sun-soaked shores of St. Tropez and Cannes to the enchanting vistas of the Amalfi Coast, ST-GERMAIN will be at the heart of the season's most unforgettable moments—whether at chic spritz terraces or Europe's hottest music festivals. In the US, the ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritz will pop up at some of the trendiest venues around the country, with seasonal installations featuring menus inspired by Sophie's favorite bites, paired with refreshing ST-GERMAIN Hugo Spritzes and signature ST-GERMAIN cocktails, proving that the right pairings can transform any moment into a celebration.
