Lillet Blanc Spritz - 2025 Better Homes & Gardens Cocktail of the Summer
One of my favorite things is to sit down and look through is my Better Homes & Gardens magazine. It has always been a moment for me to relax, look at beautiful creations, and get inspired! In the July/August issue this recipe was on one of the first pages and I knew I had to make it! So pretty and summery!
This cocktail is perfectly delicious, refreshing, and lovely to look at. The only thing bad about it is that it could be easy to have one too many…lol. Enjoy this summertime cocktail while laying in the sun, reading a good book, chatting with your friend or anytime you want to be happy :)
I made mine with lemons, cucumbers and basil but you could use any combination of the ingredients below.
