Prohibition Classic Cocktail

"You can add some soda to this if you need to, but this is no bathtub cocktail! During Prohibition you cannot waste your time drinking a lighter drink. Lillet is a blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit liqueurs, aged in oak vats for around 12 months. Lillet Blanc has a golden color with candied orange, honey, pine resin, lime and fresh mint aromas. This is the stuff in the James Bond cocktails like the Vesper."

  1. Be careful...this will knock you on your butt! I had mixed reviews wtih this on new years eve. It was to strong for me, but Hubby liked it. He loved the hint of apricot brandy. We did add the club soda and this served two drinks for us. Made for Bevy tag 2008.

I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart :) UPDATE: I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live! ____________________________________________________ My star system.... 5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks! 4* = Very good, but needs 'something'. 3* = We ate it, tried it anyways. 2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead. 1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it. I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over. ____________________________________________________ ~*~ Cooking Tag Games ~*~ <img
