Lillet Blanc and Provençal Saumon en Papillote
One of our favorite aperitifs to sip is Lillet Blanc (more commonly known as Lillet Blonde) which we pour over ice and serve with a slice of orange peel. We also incorporate Lillet Blonde into a cocktail, made famous by James Bond in the movie "Casino Royale" where he ordered a version of the martini called the Vesper.
