Description
The Lillet Vive is the official signature drink of Lillet and embodies French joie de vivre. It is a light and incredibly aromatic aperitif that combines the fruity wine notes of Lillet Blanc with the tart bitterness of tonic water. The real highlight, however, is the garnish: a slice of cucumber, a fresh strawberry, and a mint sprig. These three ingredients not only give the drink a beautiful appearance but also a complex, fresh aroma that unfolds with every sip.
Preparation
- Fill a large wine glass to the brim with ice cubes.
- Pour the Lillet Blanc into the glass.
- Top up with chilled tonic water.
- Add a thin slice of cucumber, a strawberry slice, and a mint sprig to the glass as a garnish.
- Stir gently and serve.
