You can move it to the desired location, even outside and then just place all of the ingredients on it. It also looks elegant and classic.
How to make a Spritzer
The best part about making your own spritzer is that you can experiment with different flavor variations! Try 3 ounces Lillet Rosé with 3 ounces sparkling lemonade!
Or 3 ounces Lillet Blanc with 3 ounces sparkling elderflower soda and a splash of tonic water. If it’s not strong enough, add more Lillet! Add in fruit and flowers for a stunningly colorful cocktail.
Making a spritzer is all about finding the right balance for you, which is why it’s such a great entertaining idea and activity for guests!
How to Enjoy Lillet
Besides using Lillet to make the most refreshing spritzer, you can also enjoy it alone over ice! If you want to add a dash of tonic water or club soda it makes a wonderful, light cocktail that’s truly fantastic!
Lillet has some wonderful recipes on their site that are absolutely delicious too.
Spritzer for Every Season
To make a spritzer seasonal, use seasonal fruit and seasonal flavors. For example, winter could be Lillet Rouge with sparkling cranberry juice, cinnamon, thyme
Decorate the bar according to the season with fresh flowers and seasonal colors!
