The French Blonde
This is my friend Georgia's favorite summer cocktail (2019) Funny that this recipe mentions it as a cold weather cocktail. In this cocktail, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice rounds out Lillet's inherent bite, creating a sweet, citrusy drink that's perfect for brightening up cold weather.
