The two are not mutually exclusive. Illicit basically means illegal, or forbidden by law, rule, or custom.
Some drugs which are illicit, are considered recreational by many or most people. For example, marijuana, which is illegal to possess almost anywhere in the US, is a recreational drug.
Recreational drugs are those which are taken for, not surprisingly, recreational purposes. In other words, any drug which produces a noticeable and typically pleasurable result in the user is potentially a recreational drug. Examples include caffeine, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, prescription meds like Vicodin and Xanax, and even more hardcore drugs like methamphetamine and heroine.
