In the south of the Bordeaux region, you’ll find Podensac, an area known for cobblestone streets, picturesque chateaus and, of course, the surrounding vineyards. Here, Lillet ($19, 18% abv) is a versatile wine-based apéritif, available in white, red and rosé. Enjoy it on the rocks with a curl of citrus peel, lightened in a spritz, or mixed into a cocktail like this martini variation.
