Lillet

I love Lillet. According to Wikipedia, Lillet (French pronunciation: [li'le]) is a brand of French aperitif wine. It is a blend of 85% Bordeaux wines and citrus liqueurs made from a variety of sweet and bitter oranges and grapefruit peels. Lillet is good prior to a meal, after a meal and is a nice contrast to heavier or spicier dishes. It is best served well chilled, with a small slice of orange. You can find it at most liquor stores and keeps well for about a month in the refrigerator after you open it.
