A message from my husband Eric...
Ever since Leslie returned from her year abroad in Paris with tales of the wonders—and apéritifs--of the City of Lights, Lillet has been a staple in our lives. When Drinking French entered our lives (thanks to Marc and Jessica), we naturally gravitated to anything with Lillet in it and this one does not disappoint. A flanker to the classic Corpse Reviver cocktail, the Lillet Reviver is fresh and truly reviving—the shot of gin doesn’t hurt, either. The good news is that you do not have to be a corpse to enjoy this tonic pick-me-up!

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Yields: Makes 1 cocktail

Ingredients

1 ounce gin

1 ounce Grand Marnier, Cointreau, or triple sec

1 ounce Lillet blanc

1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice

about ½ teaspoon Pastis or absinthe

lemon or orange twist, for garnish

Directions

1Add the gin, Grand Marnier, Lillet, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled. Swirl the Pastis around in a chilled coupe glass and pour out the excess. Garnish with the citrus twist.
