i realize its been a while since i posted a cocktail recipe. my last one was way back in november. sadly i haven't been enjoying any exciting new cocktails at home. winter usually brings on the beer, then guilt sets in and i move on to wine or gin and tonics. now i'm bored with those as well. so i like to see what i can make at 11pm on a saturday night with the ingredients i have have laying around. turning to my trusty pinterest cocktail board i can usually find something. enter the citrus lillet spritzer. like most recipes i find it has good bones but not exactly what i want. there was just too much lillet and oj action in this drink. with a splash of champagne. sorry martha, you had it all wrong; there always needs to be more champagne. this is a good example as why you'll never see a baking recipe on this blog. it would be an utter disaster. i'm aware baking recipes are an exact science.
