"Whoever Robys was, he seems to not have left a clue-he must
have been a charter member of Cappiello's fan club: in virtually all
the posters he left us, he borrowed the nestor's various devices to
create visual excitement for even the most mundane causes. "
(Rennert)
In 1872, the brothers Paul and Raymond Lillet, distillers and merchants
of wines and spirits, founded their company La Maison Lillet in the
town of Podensac, South of Bordeaux, France. The idea of making aperitifs
in Bordeaux came from Father Kermann, a doctor who left Brazil at
the beginning of Louis XVI's reign.
In the "Roaring 20's", Lillet became very famous in France especially
due to advertising campaigns. Lillet Rouge is specially created for
the American market.
007 James Bond, Casino Royale - This began the “shaken, not
stirred” craze, but the Vesper is still relatively unknown. Bond author
Ian Fleming invented this recipe, or at least named it. Daniel Craig
orders one Casino Royale: “Three measures of Gordon’s; one of vodka;
half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice
of lemon peel.” On the fly, he names it after double agent Vesper
Lynd. “Because of the bitter aftertaste?” she asks. “No, because once
you've tasted it, that's all you want to drink,” he answers.
In Hannibal, Hannibal Lecter drinks "Lillet and a slice of
orange over ice"; he later serves the same drink to Clarice Starling
