delicious aperitif for the summer

Squeeze the orange, grapefruit, and lemon and mix the juice with the Lillet. Fill two glasses (Burgundy or fancy) with ice cubes, add the juice/Lillet mix, and top with sparkling wine (preferably a Crémant, but also a sparkling wine, Cava, or Champagne – as long as it’s traditionally bottle-fermented and a cuvée). Garnish with a slice of orange and/or grapefruit. A small skewer or umbrella with a physalis skewered between an orange slice also looks very nice!
