cocktails: citrus lillet spritzer


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.  

citrus lillet spritzer
