Fizzy Gin and Lillet Punch Recipe

Updated March 24, 2025

We threw a little shindig today to say goodbye to SE Ad Sales Director Erin Adamo. I mixed up this bubbly punch—it's a good brunch or predinner drink: a little tart, a little sweet, and a little more complex than you'd expect. If you don't have Lillet Rouge, you could substitute a high-quality sweet vermouth (such as Dolin), but it won't be quite the same.

I used Small Hand Foods grenadine, but you can also make your own.
