Lillet Rose ideas

Easy: Lillet Rose & Bubbles. I LIKE THIS ONE.

Why wouldn’t you pair grape-based Lillet Rose with Champagne? This cocktail takes two seconds and is guaranteed to impress at your next brunch or afternoon garden party.

Instructions: In a coupe, combine 1 1/2 ounces of Lillet Rose and 3 ounces of Champagne. Give a quick stir and garnish with a lemon peel, twisting over the surface of the glass to spray its citrus oils; then discard that peel and garnish with an orange half-moon.
