Often served chilled with a slice of lemon or orange, lillet is a French aperitif made from a blend of Bordeaux wine and citrus liqueur and it comes in blanc, rose or rouge.
Not only is this drink a ridiculously pretty addition to any cocktail party, it’s also a refreshing way to toast the arrival of spring.
What you’ll need:
- lillet blanc
- grapefruit juice
- gin
- ice
- edible flowers
- Combine 2 parts Lillet Blanc, 2 parts grapefruit juice, 1 part gin, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake until well chilled. Strain and divide among stemmed cocktail glasses.
- Garnish with edible flowers (we used violas). Serve immediately.
Tip: You can even freeze your choice of flowers in ice trays as an added touch.
