This evening I had a cocktail conundrum. You see, my lovelies, I bought a bottle of booze based merely on the pretty label. It turns out, Lillet is a French aperitif made of white Bordeaux wines and orange liqueur. How bad could that possibly be, right? Mixed with a little gin, a touch of citrus and a bit of bubbly tonic water, the "French Fizzy" is a most delicious late summer cocktail featuring the lovely Lillet.
Ingredients:
-1 part gin
-1 part Lillet blanc
-1 part fresh orange juice
-tonic water
-squeeze of lime
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add gin, Lillet and orange juice. Shake until well chilled.
- Pour mixture into glass over ice.
- Add a squeeze of lime and top with tonic water.
PinkFrenchie,
ReplyDeleteI think you should write a book of cocktails with appetizers or amuse-bouches as the French say.
Your PinkFrenchie cocktail is a favorite of the ladies at book club.
Lily, Lillet . . . love the name.
ReplyDeleteJust went out and bought it.
Maybe design a Pink Lillet cocktail to go with your Flowers for Friday?
