Lillet Blanc
Cocktails with Lillet Blanc
Aromatized-wine drinks — Vesper and Corpse Reviver No. 2 — that call for Lillet Blanc rather than dry vermouth.
Lillet Blanc is a quinine-tinged aperitif wine. Bond’s Vesper and the Corpse Reviver No. 2 both name it; dry vermouth is not a perfect swap.
Lillet Blanc cocktail FAQ
Can I use dry vermouth instead of Lillet?
The drink will work but taste drier and less orange-honey. Keep Lillet if you are chasing the classic Vesper or Reviver.
How should I store Lillet Blanc?
Refrigerate after opening, like vermouth. It fades faster than a spirit.
