Last night's cocktail was really nice...very light and refreshing. It kind of tasted like orangina soda
4 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
4 ounces white lillet
2 ounces soda water
shake the juice and lillet in a cocktail strainer filled with ice and strain into an ice filled glass. top with the soda water.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Lillet is a French apertif--I think it is wine...I did not taste it ouside the cocktail so can't say exactly what it tastes like. My liquor store had red lillet and white lillet. It was shelved with stuff like campari.cat wrote:What is white lillet?

My made up version is coconut rum, dark rum, pineapple juice and orange juice and sprinkle with nutmeg. The exact amounts, I don't know because I just guess.Nancy wrote:Does anyone have the recipe for painkillers that uses coconut rum instead of coco-lopez? I have a urgent request for some this weekend!! thanks
