Meaning and background
The story behind Lillet
Lillet can refer to the French aperitif described by its maker as a blend of French wines and fruit-infused liqueurs. The brand’s own history also connects it with the Vesper cocktail in Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale. A household might choose the name for the drink, a travel memory or that literary association. These are documented product and cultural references, while the linguistic origin of Lillet as a surname is not established here.
