Lillet

Lillet is a French wine, similar to vermouth. (Technically it’s a blend of wine and citrus liquors, aged in oak. Its ABV is higher than wine but lower than hard alcohol.) It isn’t overly sweet but includes honey, herbal, citrus, and floral flavors.

Ain’t nothin’ wrong with good ole’ regular bacon, I love this terribly addicting combination of sweet and salty, candied, spiced Millionaire’s Bacon (if you’re in San Francisco - I first found it at Sweet Maple, then Blackwood).
