Lillet Blanc Apertif Wine

Bearing aromas of apricots, peach, orange, honey, and exotic fruits like mango, but the Lillet Blanc also has some hints of spice in the nose. The Lillet is fairly sweet but not as sweet as icewine, it also has an earthiness to the flavor that's hard to describe. The alcohol is noticeable, but more as a warming effect on the throat. The orange and subtle bitterness make for a good balance with the sweetness of the fortified wine base. A great way to enjoy Lillet Blanc is to flame an orange peel over the drink. The orange oils provide a nice aroma and compliment the Lillet quite well. This was a popular way of serving Lillet Blanc back in the 1950's.
