WEATHER, DON'T LILLET ME DOWN

I'm really rooting for summer to be here already. The grey is getting in my way. I'm ready for those famous Seattle summer afternoons when I round up my people and we post up on the patio to soak up the sunbeams and gaze out across the sparkling sound.

So, to vouch my support for the arrival of the hot, shiny days of summer, (and therefore, to express my opposition to this stubborn, soggy spring) I've been pouring a quintessential summer sipper. It's sort of like a reverse rain dance in a glass.

The ingredients are simple: glass + ice + Lillet + a squeeze of citrus. Lillet is a French aperitif wine that is typically served chilled with a twist of orange or lemon rind. In this case, I used blood orange rind and added a squeeze of the juice for color. So join me in the campaign for some serious soleil. Mix this up, slip on the sunnies, and visualize summer happening.

P.S. Yes, I know that Lillet is pronounced, "lee-LAY", but I used a little creative license in the title of this post. If you parlez français, excusez moi, s’il vous plaît.
