Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauv and Merlot grapes, Lillet Rouge is fortified with lemon and orange brandies and quinine, the latter of which acts as a bittering agent. The result is fruit-forward flavor and full-bodied texture, which can be an asset in both shaken and stirred drinks, or simply enjoyed on its own with an orange slice. Great in mulled wine, or add to Amari and cherry liqueur.
