Lillet Blanc 0% has been unveiled by the French aperitif brand as an alcohol-free version of its signature product that prioritizes a premium, flavorful experience to work well for consumers seeking out low or no-alcohol options.
The product features a blend of de-alcoholized French wines along with fruit-based infusions and additional key ingredients that combine to achieve the same taste and versatility as the original Lillet aperitif. The product is being promoted as the ideal non-alcoholic refreshment to enjoy in the Lillet Berry, which features Lillet Blanc 0% with two-parts Schweppes Wild Berry, all served over ice with a fresh berry garnish.
Vice President for Gins and Aperitifs at brand owner Pernod Ricard Francesco Ottaviano spoke on the Lillet Blanc 0% saying, "Our newest launch, Lillet Blanc 0%, is a premium option for conscious enjoyment, without any compromise on taste and is best enjoyed in the hero serve, the Lillet Berry 0%, for those who want something fresh and sophisticated for every occasion this summer."
