Rosemary-Lillet Spritz

For a simple yet sophisticated sipper, try a Rosemary-Lillet Spritz. Lillet Blanc is a floral French aperitif that's boozier than wine but breezier than gin, and our refreshing take uses rosemary simple syrup and a splash of bubbly. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary to catch its fragrance with every sip.
