Splash of club soda

Add ice, citrus, cucumber, and herbs to a glass. Pour in Lillet Blanc and sparkling wine, top with a splash of soda, and garnish like a garden goddess.

Entertaining? Make a Pitcher! (Serves 8)

Ingredients

24 slices citrus
24 slices cucumber
½ cup fresh basil or mint
2 cups Lillet Blanc
1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling wine
2 cups club soda

Directions

In a large pitcher, layer the citrus, cucumber, and herbs. Add Lillet Blanc, chilled sparkling wine, and club soda. Stir gently, serve over ice, and let the compliments pour.

Not Drinking? Not a Problem.

This spa day sipper is just as dreamy alcohol-free.

Sub Lillet Blanc with:
Verjus blanc
Crodino or a non-alcoholic aperitif like Roots Divino Bianco

Sub the bubbly with:
A zero-proof sparkling wine like Oddbird or Lautus

Finish with the same citrus, cucumber, and herb combo and voilà, a guilt-free glow-up in a glass.

Stay cool, stay classy and don’t forget to garnish.
Cheers to the drink of the summer!
