Lillet Rose Aperitif 0.75L 17% The history of Lillet The origins of the Lillet Frères company go back to 1872. At that time, Raymond and Paul Lillet founded the company "Maison Lillet" in Les Graves near Sauternes and began trading in fine liqueurs, spirits and wines. Lillet, then known as Kina Lillet, was finally created in 1887 on the advice of Father Kermann. He worked under Louis XVI as a doctor in Brazil where he recognized the strengthening effect of cinchona bark. Back in Bordeaux, he experimented with the Lillets on combining wines and fruit liqueurs with spices. After a few failed attempts, they finally succeeded in producing Kina Lillet, the first aperitif from Bordeaux. Bordeaux was the most important French port at the time and so Lillet quickly spread throughout the world. In the mid-1950s, Lillet conquered Parisian and New York high society and has since become a staple in bars around the world. After a brief period of weakness at the end of the millennium, Lillet is currently experiencing a revival and is causing a sensation with new products such as the Lillet Rosé Aperitif. The production of Lillet Rose Aperitif The base wine for Lillet Rosé, like the wine for Lillet Blanc, is made from the Sémillon grape variety. It is then married with an artisanal, natural liqueur made from sweet and bitter oranges. It is also known that Lillet Blanc's recipe contains cinchona bark from Peru. This ingredient can therefore also be assumed to be found in Lillet Rosé. Like Lillet Blanc and Lillet Rouge, Lillet Rosé matures in traditional oak barrels to harmonize. The taste of Lillet Rose Aperitif The shiny pink Lillet Rosé is best served well chilled. Served like this, Lillet Rosé has light notes of red fruits, orange blossom and grapefruit on the nose. On the palate, Lillet Rosé is pleasantly fresh, fruity and lively. The well-balanced structure of Lillet Rosé is stimulatingly sour. Very pleasant! The aftertaste of Lillet Rosé is longer than expected and leaves a fresh feeling on the palate. Lillet Rosé is also wonderful for use in cocktails or with sparkling wine!

Bonal Aperitif Gentiane Quina 0.75L 16% History of Bonal As is so often the case, the story of Bonal begins with a little boy who was interested in alternative medicine from an early age. After years of studying medicine and pharmacology in Paris and Lyon, the young man moved to a small neighboring village. Here he opened a pharmacy where he researched the effectiveness and healing properties of herbs and plants that he collected on meditative hikes in the beautiful Alps. Soon after, in 1865, he created his first 'liqueur wine'. Taste The basis here is Mistelle wine, which contains yellow gentian and various herbs as well as the bark of the China tree. The taste is described as fresh with grassy notes, and you can also detect hints of menthol or roasted chestnuts. Alternative to gin Due to its pronounced bitterness, you can associate it with gin and in cocktails or long drinks you can easily replace this gin with Bonal Gentriane Quina for a bit of variety. A great example of this is a so-called Collins, which is based on a classic sour. However, it also contains soda water and if you look around in bars around the world, there are almost endless possibilities for combining a Collins, because unlike other well-known cocktails or long drinks, any type of base alcohol is allowed in the Collins.
