Give Your Gin Cocktails A Floral Touch With Lillet Blanc
BY BRIAN UDALL
Lillet Blanc is a fortified wine made with Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes combined with fruit liqueurs and infused with macerated oranges and quinine.
The result is like a cross between a fresh honeysuckle flower and a pine needle. It tastes of honey and fresh flowers and has a pleasant botanical bite.
Lillet Blanc is often paired with gin thanks to how well the Lillet Blanc adds a light sweetness
to the gin without overwhelming it and the botanicals of each
play nicely together.
