Then serve them scoops of this tart, sweet, and aromatic cranberry sorbet, turned lipstick-red by a slurp of Lillet Rouge, the lesser-known but more autumn-friendly aperitif cousin to Lillet Blanc. The wine's bittersweet botanical qualities add a clean, herbal finish to the cranberries—especially nice for a palate cleanser.
