    Sometimes, you just want something different, right? A few years ago, I really missed having a glass of my favorite aperitif, Lillet Blanc. It had been a very long time since I had this flavorful refresher served over ice with a fresh slice of orange. In retrospect, I think I just got bored with drinking it the same way every time, so I stopped drinking it.

    Inventing a New Cocktail

    Until one night when I wanted something different.

    I pulled the ever-present bottle of Lillet from the refrigerator, loaded my glass with ice, and stopped. I wanted something more. As I searched the fridge for something different, I glanced toward the door and found a bottle of peach schnapps tucked into the door and thought, “Why Not?”

    So, I poured my favorite Lillet over the ice and then topped it with a small amount of peach schnapps… gave it a little stir and took a sip. Oh my! Summer just got an upgrade!

    But I realized my new Lillet cocktail could be even better. It needed bubbles! So, I then topped my new cocktail with Prosecco!

    Ingredients

    Square image of the labeled ingredients, from left to right: Lillet Blanc, peach schnapps, and Prosecco.

    Lillet Blanc - Lillet Blanc is a French liqueur made from sweet Sémillon grapes, orange liqueurs, and a bit of quinine bitters to balance it out. It is sweet but not too sweet, honey colored, and filled with the delicate aromas and flavors of white flowers and candied orange peel. To me it smells and tastes like summer.

    Peach Schnapps - Schnapps is a neutral flavored alcoholic beverage that is infused with fruit, herbs, spices, and other flavors. Peach schnapps is schnapps with peach flavorings. It is clear in color and has a strong, sweet flavor of peaches.

    Prosecco - Prosecco is a sparkling wine from Italy. While champagne is made from a variety of grapes grown, fermented, and bottled only in France, prosecco is made only from the glera grapes in Italy. Prosecco is generally neutral in flavor.

    Instructions

    Step 1 - Pour Lillet Blanc and then peach schnapps into a champagne flute.

    Step 2 - Top with Prosecco.

    Step 3 - Garnish if desired, serve and enjoy!

    Special Tips

    Store your Lillet Blanc, peach schnapps, and Prosecco in the refrigerator, so they are always well chilled and ready to serve when company drops in to visit.

    Variations

    Add More Peach. If you prefer a stronger sweeter peach flavor, increase the peach schnapps to 2 oz.

    Make it Lighter. Try a tall Collins glass filled with ice and top this cocktail off with sparkling water for a lighter sip.

    Hold the Prosecco. Double the Lillet Blanc to 4 ounces and add 1 ounce of peach schnapps. Pour over the rocks in an old-fashioned glass.
