Prohibition Classic Cocktail

Recipe #340203 | 2 min | 1 min prep

You can add some soda to this if you need to, but this is no bathtub cocktail! During Prohibition you cannot waste your time drinking a lighter drink. Lillet is a blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit liqueurs, aged in oak vats for around 12 months. Lillet Blanc has a golden color with candied orange, honey, pine resin, lime and fresh mint aromas. This is the stuff in the James Bond cocktails like the Vesper.

Be careful...this will knock you on your butt! I had mixed reviews wtih this on new years eve. It was to strong for me, but Hubby liked it. He loved the hint of apricot brandy. We did add the club soda and this served two drinks for us. Made for Bevy tag 2008.
