Strawberry Thyme Lillet Spritzers. That’s the name of the game and it’s about to rock your weekend. Big time.
Man! There is just so much to talk about today. So let’s make a list. I’m really good at making lists. Sometimes I make lists just to make another list. Clearly I’m that girl.
1: Easter is coming and that means BRUNCH! Get ready for the most epic menu and the carrot cake of your dreams. But, we’re also cocktailing.
2: These Strawberry Thyme Lillet Spritzers are legit. Have you guys had Lillet before? It’s a French aperitif wine which makes me feel really fancy. I mix it with Champagne, because I’m extra fancy, and some gorgeous strawberries and thyme. It’s insane. And beyond easy. You should absolutely make these immediately.
3: We’re officially 4 weeks quarantined today and I’m not going to lie to you, alcohol consumption is up.
Okay – that’s all I’ve got for today! Wishing you all a great holiday weekend that’s filled with one, two, or maybe even three Strawberry Thyme Lillet Spritzers!

I couldn’t have dreamt a more perfect cocktail… and I’ve been doing A LOT of cocktail daydreaming these days, haha. Pocketing this recipe for after baby’s born! 🙂 I can’t wait to try it, Gaby!
This cocktail looks so refreshing and I’m obsessed with how gorgeous it is!
Ha, my mom doesn’t drink either, and I take the same approach. More for me. These look fabulous. I love the thyme.
So pretty Gaby! I love the thyme and those gorgeous glasses.
These cocktails look so perfect and unique, Gaby! I’m a huge Lillet fan; I can imagine how lovely it tastes against the thyme, berries, and prosecco. Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to make these.
Gorgeous, Gaby! Passing this on to my hubby for Sunday lunch. 😉

Excellent use of the Lillet, and perfect for spring!!
Wondering what brand of Lillet you used?
I think there is only 1 brand that makes it!
Thank you! I am hosting my Gourmet Group (AKA Bitches Can Cook) in March and I chose “What’s Gaby Cooking” as the theme for our lunch. I thought I would make this cocktail!
I dream of sitting with one of these beauties and a big group of ladies!
okay, so that looks delicious and refreshing but where am i going to find Lillet Blanc during a quarantine??
I ordered some from Bevmo!! But otherwise bookmark it for later!
How long does lillet last once opened? Do you keep it refrigerated after opening?
We all need this in our lives right now! Together with carrot cake – what could be better????
Can’t wait to try them! Thanks for the BevMo recommendation. Yours look so nice, too. Do you mind sharing which glasses those are? TIA!
I had the Lillet on hand…. thyme in the garden and frozen strawberries at least with quarantine supplies, so why not? It was really light and refreshing and who doesn’t like Prosecco?? Felt like a healthy beverage.
would any blanc vermouth work? we live in mexico and don’t think I could find Lillet?
yes I think so!!
