Review:
Thirst quenching, refreshing and low in alcohol. A great drink for a summer's afternoon or even before lunch.
History:
Adapted from a signature serve promoted by Lillet Blanc as “Lillet Vive”. In French, the word Vive means live or long life, so Lillet Vive means Lillet Life while Vive l'apéritif translates as long live the apéritif.
