A Spritz of Summer at RISE

The Francophile in me falls hard for any wine-based drink. I also happen to have a strong attraction to Lillet in part because it is French, but also because I just love the label design. It matters! So, anyway, I was excited to see that RISE (105 Park Central Square, Springfield) had decided to bring Lillet to Springfield by introducing it on their new cocktail menu. The Lillet Spritz blends Lillet blanc, a wine-based aperitif, with vermouth, sparkling water and fresh orange, pear and strawberry slices. It’s almost like a sweet Pimm’s Cup and bitter Aperol Spritz blended together to create a wonderfully balanced, fruity, summery, French treat. J’adore.
