I am a nut for sparkling wine. I know it can be super cheesy and cliche, but when it hits your lips, it tastes so good! (Old-School, anyone?!) One recent Friday evening, feeling overwhelmed and in need of some alone time, I stopped off at the store and picked up a bottle of bubbly. There's something wonderfully indulgent about taking a lovely flute of something sparkling outside on a quiet summer evening. It was just what I needed!
Sparkling Bittersweet Summer Cocktail
Ingredients:
1/2 Ounce of Lillet Blanc (A sweet french wine, similar to dessert wines)
2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
2-3 Ounces of Sparkling Wine (Depending on how tall your flutes are)
Preparation:
Pour your Lillet Blanc* into your flute. Top off with sparkling wine and add your bitter dashes! Voila!
*Note about Lillet Blanc: It's this really delicious sweet, desserty wine which can be served alone as an aperitif or it's great to keep on hand for the sweet note in your cocktails. I also like it with gin cocktails!
