Lillet Rose Cocktail

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

lillet rose cocktailHappy Spring Everyone!!!

Change is in the air - plants are emerging from their winter naps, spring fruits and vegetables are beginning to appear in the markets and so naturally it's time for a change of cocktail as well.   So what better cocktail to toast Spring than this Lillet Rose Cocktail?  Lillet Rose, fresh lemon juice and peach liqueur - its a little sweet, a little tart with a beautiful  peach color - and a wonderful excuse to pull out  that crystal to show it off!

Lillet-cocktail-BC2

Lillet Rose is the newest addition to the Lillet family of fortified wines which are drunk throughout France as an aperitif- except, as David Lebovitz notes, in Paris! If you've never tried Lillet, I highly recommend it. I am a big fan of fortified wines and this Lillet Rose did not disappoint. Served chilled over ice, it's a very civilized way to start a meal and is a refreshing change from the usual glass of wine. Although Lillet Rose is delicious on it's own over ice, it's fruity, floral and honey notes make it a terrific base for all kinds of spring and summer cocktails like this Lillet Rose Cocktail.

These Lillet Rose Cocktails will be a  beautiful addition to Easter brunch and a  festive way to welcome guests to a birthday lunch or wedding shower. Speaking of brunch, here are some great brunch recipes to pair with the Lillet Rose Cocktail!

    I'm invited to a dinner party with a french theme. The hostess asked me to bring cheddar cheese and nuts to be paired with the aperitif Lillet Rose. What kind of cheddar cheese and which nuts are the perfect pairing?

      Hi Angel!

      Ooooh.... fun! Lillet Rose goes great with French cheeses - especially soft ripened ones like Brie - however, if the hostess has requested a Cheddar, I'd recommend a younger, white cheddar - I think an older one would be too strong for the Lillet. As for nuts, I think just about any nut (aside from peanuts) would go nicely - marcona almonds and pistachios come to mind!!!

    Love it. Love Lillet ♥️

    I wonder if this could work in a punch? Got a bunch of people coming round and don’t want to stand in the kitchen shaking... thoughts?

      You could definitely make this as a punch - it would be lovely! I would mix it up in the morning so that the citrus is fresh!
