To my palate, the new, lighter, sweeter version pales in comparison. Then again, I am fond of Suze, which is quite heavy on the gentian and, sadly, nearly impossible to find in America.

My husband always gives me a bottle on my birthday and Christmas and I hide it and keep it all for myself. Oddly enough, I have trouble finding cafés and bistros in Paris that serve it.

I'm studying abroad in Bordeaux at the moment, and knew they were famous for wine, but didn't know about Lillet until having stayed there for a couple months. I made sure to bring a bottle back for Christmas - a sweet stocking stuffer if I ever tasted one! Hey, great article.

I had it again last summer with the same people. It was just as divine then, but we kept our clothes on.

We used to chill a bottle ice cold and travel across the lake for a picnic of house smoked ham and gruyere sandwiches, along with anything else we could pilfer from the fridge. Oh, good times.
