St-Germain & Pantopia launch limited-edition Cruffin & Croissant pastry
Pantopia and St-Germain have created something irresistible together: the St-Germain Cruffin & Croissant, the pastry of the season. The St-Germain Cruffin & Croissant is a limited-edition creation by Pantopia, filled with a cream of yuzu, lemon, dill and vanilla, in which the fresh citrus and floral notes of St-Germain come together perfectly. Trust us: you’ll want to try this! We’ll tell you where to get one.
Pantopia: craftsmanship and creativity in one
On Kerkstraat in Amsterdam, Pantopia is known for its experimental and creative take on patisserie. For this special collaboration, pastry chef Youssef headed into the kitchen in search of the perfect balance between the elegant notes of French liqueur St-Germain and his pastry creations. The result: a pastry that is both classically French and surprisingly fresh.
St-Germain: iconic French liqueur
We saw it on every terrace and at every cocktail bar this year: St-Germain. This artisanally crafted French liqueur, made from hand-picked elderflowers, is perfect as an ingredient in cocktails and is especially well known in a summery Spritz. The bottle pays tribute to the lively Belle Époque period in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 1920s Paris. And once you’ve spotted the bottle, it stays on your radar.
DJ Ruben Michael and the ultimate aperitif moment
The St-Germain Cruffin & Croissant was unveiled during St-Germain Bakery Beats, a stylish afternoon with a St-Germain Spritz in hand and DJ Ruben Michael’s beats in the background. Ruben described the moment as a playful mix of French elegance and light jazz-house vibes: “It almost felt as if I were standing in a secret bar in Paris.”
For anyone who wants to recreate that same feeling at home, Ruben specially put together a playlist, ‘Ruben Michael’s Mix’, packed with summery bangers and uplifting tracks.
Buy, eat, drink
The pastry is available exclusively at Pastry Pantopia, Kerkstraat 163 in Amsterdam, through 25 October. This limited edition combines the fresh citrus and floral notes of St-Germain with classic French pastry craftsmanship. Pair it with a St-Germain Spritz: mix 40 ml St-Germain, 60 ml MARTINI Prosecco, 60 ml sparkling water and garnish with a slice of lemon for the perfect aperitif moment.
Who says it’s autumn already? We’re simply holding on to that delicious summery Spritz feeling for a little longer!
