Lillet Blanc Aperitif

Region: Podensac, France

Lillet comes to us from just south of Bordeaux, France, where wine, fruit macerations, and fruit peels are used to vinify a unique aperitif. The fruit focus makes these markedly less bitter than Vermouths and Amari, and Lillet is traditionally served either neat or on the rocks, with an orange peel. 

Recipe: Corpse Reviver No. 2

1 oz Bourbon
1 oz Lillet Blanc
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Shaken, strained, served up in a chilled martini glass with an orange peel
