When I want a light and refreshing cocktail, the Spritz family has become my go-to. Composed of a bitter liqueur, sparkling wine (like Prosecco), and soda water, the flavor varies depending on the liqueur. Other popular spritzes are the Aperol Spritz and Campari Spritz. The Lillet Spritz is bubbly, tart, and tastes like sunshine in a glass!

Lillet Spritz Recipe

  • 3 ounces sparkling wine (such as Prosecco)
  • 2 ounces Lillet Blanc
  • 1 ounce soda water, or enough to top your glass

How to Make a Lillet Spritz

Making a Lillet Spritz couldn’t be easier! Just combine your Prosecco and Lillet Blanc in a glass with ice, stir, and top with bubbles. Garnish with some fresh mint leaves and slices of cucumber. Enjoy!

What is Lillet Blanc?

Lillet Blanc is a fortified wine with herbal, citrus, and floral notes. The French aperitif is very versatile to mix into cocktails. Once you add this to your liquor collection, it will become a staple. Try it in this Vesper Martini!
