Based on a Vesper and named for one of the few James Bond films in which he actually orders it, this restrained drink marries the berry-fruit of Aperol to cherry eau-de-vie from Portland, Oregon’s Clear Creek. “Everything else is about dynamic duos dancing,” explains Fu, “the salinity of Lustau Fino La Jarana and citrus peel of blanc vermouth, a touch of Grey Goose vodka and gin for crispness.”
