If you're looking for an alternative to a classic Aperol spritz, look no further than a refreshing Lillet spritz cocktail. It's so easy to make and is an ideal summer drink.
1. Orange slices are always so pretty to use as a garnish, especially with the color of the spritz. 2. A strawberry slice is another great way to incorporate color and fresh fruit. 3. A sprig of mint is always a picture-perfect garnish. 4. A lemon twist to go along with the freshly squeezed lemon in the cocktail is also a great option.
What does Lillet taste like? Lillet Blanc, specifically, is very light with a bit of herbal and citrus notes. It reminds me a bit of white wine! How do you pronounce Lillet? Lillet is pronounced lee-LAY. Is Lillet similar to aperol? They are not similar, but you can make delicious spritz recipes with either. Lillet is French and Aperol is Italian. Additionally, Lillet is a fortified wine so you don't get the bitterness you do with Aperol.
