In honor of their recently-debuted summer label, Lillet, France's most recognized aperitif wine, hosted a launch party atop "Above Allen's" fabulous 7th floor terrace.  Aside from the generous hors d'oeuvre and libations, and a breathtaking view of Manhattan, the evening was consummated with familiar French tunes sung by trio, "Les Chaud Lapins," of Brooklyn. 

Please enjoy my collage of snapshots which capture one of my most memorable evenings yet. 

Lillet's new summer label launch party: I adore the new summer label. The lovely lady adorning the bottle resembles a blonde Coco Chanel, no? Tres belle!Lillet's new summer label launch party: while so many of the cocktails sounded delightful, I simply could not pull myself away from the "Lillet Sangria." Must. Get. That. Recipe.

Lillet's new summer label launch party : why, thank you! I will serve myself unlimited amounts of sangria. Lillet's new summer label launch party : Lillet's crack-ified sangria, chock-full of alcohol-soaked fruits (blueberries, nectarines, melon balls, apples, lemon slices, etc.)
