Originating from Podensac, a quaint village situated in the southern region of Bordeaux, Lillet, the French apéritif, has collaborated with the well-loved Netflix show Emily In Paris to unveil two exclusive bottles, perfectly timed for the upcoming season four! Recognized for its top-tier and sophisticated apéritif beverages that balance the sweetness of wine with the tang of citrus and quinine, Lillet carries a prestigious heritage tracing back to 1872. This brand is celebrated for its versatility in mixology, often being a preferred element in a variety of classic and modern drink concoctions.
These unique Lillet containers pay tribute to Emily’s unwavering love for France and fashion, featuring labels embellished with haute couture-inspired illustrations that depict the iconic Lillet lady dressed in utmost chic Parisian outfits. Additionally, the iconic Emily In Paris emblem takes center stage. The designs creatively draw inspiration from Emily’s fashion choices, showcasing a daytime look for Lillet Blanc and a sophisticated evening appearance for the Lillet Rosé variant.
The pale golden Lillet Blanc is subtle and delicately sweet, offering notes of honey, candied orange, and fresh mint. It also carries a hint of herbal and spicy accents. It is commonly enjoyed chilled, over ice with a garnish of orange or lemon, or as an ingredient in drinks like the Vesper Martini. The light pink Lillet Rosé is fruity and floral, with hints of ripe berries, orange blossom, and grapefruit. It is typically enjoyed alone with a slice of grapefruit or used in various cocktails.
The limited-edition Lillet Emily In Paris bottles will be available in the US from August 1 (SRP: $23.99) and will also launch in global markets including Germany, Austria, Denmark, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, China, South Korea, and Brazil.
To celebrate this collaboration, Maison Lillet has crafted two refreshing drinks in honor of the partnership. A sophisticated twist on the classic Lillet Spritz, the “Emily Lillet Royale” is the perfect summer beverage to enjoy while catching the fourth season with friends.
