Today’s post is all about beverages, respectively my favorite drink! I’m bored of all these Hugo’s & Aperol Spritzz.
In Paris we have Chanel, Dior or Lanvin so it’s no wonder that my favorite drink is from france as well. Lillet 1872, a perfect Aperitif or sundowner. I’m not into sickly sweet drinks what makes this Aperitif from Bordeaux even more attractive to me. The taste is softly herb paired with a perfect bitterness.
There are a lot of different ways to create a fresh, tasty drink for summer.
One of my favorites is
Lillet vive:
5cl Littet blanc
10 cl Tonic Water
Ice and a cucumber-slice, mint plus 1 strawberry.
Lillet Vesper:
1cl Lillet Blanc
6cl Gin
2cl Vodka
Ice and a lemon zest.
Lillet Citrosé:
5cl Lillet Rosé
10 cl Citrus-Lemonade
Ice, mint plus a lemon-slice.
4cl Lillet Rosé
1cl fresh grapefruit juice
1cl sugar syrup
1 egg-white
infuse with Champagne
Ice and on top a slice of grapefruit
