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 Gentiane Quina 0.75L 16% – French Aperitif with Alpine Herbal Heritage The story of Bonal Gentiane Quina dates back to 1865 and begins with a young man fascinated by medicine and the properties of medicinal plants. After studying medicine and pharmacology in Paris and Lyon, he settled in a small village in the French Alps, where he opened a pharmacy. During walks through the surrounding mountains, he collected herbs and plants and explored their traditional properties. His interest in Alpine botanicals eventually led him to create his first so-called wine liqueur, laying the foundations for today's Bonal. Wine Base and Selected Botanicals Bonal Gentiane Quina is based on mistelle wine, which is infused with yellow gentian, various herbs and the bark of the cinchona tree. Gentian and cinchona are particularly important to its distinctive bittersweet character. The combination of wine and aromatic botanical ingredients gives this French aperitif a distinctive profile that sets it apart from conventional sweet liqueurs. Flavour and Character Fresh and pleasantly bitter, Bonal reveals a pronounced herbal character with grassy notes. Hints of menthol and roasted chestnuts add further aromatic depth. The interplay of the wine base, gentian and cinchona bark creates a layered flavour profile that works well both on its own and as an ingredient in mixed drinks. A Versatile Ingredient for Cocktails and Long Drinks With its pronounced bitterness and herbal character, Bonal Gentiane Quina can be an interesting alternative to gin in selected cocktails. It is particularly suited to creative variations on classic long drinks. The Collins is an excellent source of inspiration: built on the familiar structure of a Sour, it is lengthened with soda water. As a Collins can be made with a wide range of base spirits, Bonal offers plenty of scope for original interpretations. It can also be enjoyed chilled or served on its own as a distinctive French aperitif.
