Lillet And Cucumber Aperitif Recipes

SPICED LILLET SPRITZ

Lillet is an infused wine aperitif available in white, rose and red - each with slightly different flavor notes. While delicious on its own, this cocktail adds a warming spiced syrup and fresh blood orange juice to make it feel extra cozy for the holidays and pick up on the berry and spice flavors in Lillet Rouge.

Steps:

Make the spiced syrup: Combine 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick and blood orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; simmer until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then strain.
Make the cocktail: Combine the Lillet, blood orange juice and 1 tablespoon of the spiced syrup in a large glass and stir. Add ice and top with seltzer. Garnish with a blood orange slice.

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
8 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
6 strips blood orange zest
1/2 cup chilled Lillet Rouge
1 tablespoon blood orange juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup cold seltzer
Blood orange slice, for garnish
