    Easy cocktail recipes are the essential for entertaining. They have to be quick, have just a few basic ingredients and they must be delicious. Some of my favorites to serve are my Lavender Gimlet, Strawberry Mojito and my Skinny Spicy Margarita!

    But, this Lillet Blanc Spritz is the easiest of them all! It only requires 3 ingredients and it's the perfect poolside, backyard barbecue or hanging-out-with-friends drink. It is light and refreshing and takes no time at all to make!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • This is an easy cocktail recipe that only requires 4 ingredients!
    • It is great for the any occasion from Summer cookouts to Holiday parties.
    • This Lillet Blanc Spritz is perfect for people who don't like Aperol or Campari.
    • It is bright, citrusy and fizzy.
    • And most importantly, it's absolutely delicious!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for making this recipe on a linen cloth.

    Lillet Blanc: Lillet is a French aperitif. It is a wine that also contains citrus notes from liqueurs. You will find Lillet with the other aperitifs like Aperol and Campari. I like Lillet Blanc best, but Lillet Rosé is also great for this Lillet Spritz recipe!

    Soda Water: Did you know that soda water, club soda, sparkling water and seltzer are all the exact same thing? Any brand will do, but I love Fever Tree.

    Citrus: I like a combination of lemon and orange, but grapefruit would also be delicious. And, if you love citrusy cocktails, you have to make my French Gimlet!

    How to Tell if Alcohol is Vegan

    The best resource for finding vegan alcohol is Barnivore.

    There are many hidden non-vegan ingredients in things, so Barnivore is a great way to be sure!

    Method

    Slices of orange and lemon frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Step 1. Slice half of an orange and half of a lemon into half moons.

    Then, place them onto a lined baking sheet and freeze until they are completely frozen, about 2 hours.

    Step 2. Then, add ice, Lillet Blanc, soda water and a slice of frozen lemon and orange to a wine glass. Gently stir and serve your Lillet Blanc Spritz!

    Recipe FAQs

    What Kind of Alcohol is Lillet?

    Lillet is fortified wine, which means it is wine with sugar and liqueurs added to it.

    What does Lillet taste like?

    Lillet tastes like a sweet and citrusy wine. It is bright and fresh tasting.

    Expert Recipe Tips

    For the best Lillet Blanc Spritz, start with cold ingredients.

    If you make this cocktail with room temperature ingredients it will dilute too fast.

    The frozen lemon and orange keep the cocktail cold while not diluting it further!
