A dangerously smooth, icy-slick drink that looks like money, tastes like pleasure, and leaves a ghost of regret behind.
Beverly Chill Cocktail
It’s elegant. It’s haunted. It’s beautiful with a bruise beneath the surface. Sip it slow, let it numb your edges.
Equipment
- Shaker
- Strainer
Ingredients
- 1 ounce Vodka ice-cold, like Clay’s stare
- 1 ounce St. Germain Elderflower liqueur for Blair’s fleeting sweetness
- 1 ounce Dry Vermouth for Julian’s bitterness
- 1/4 ounce Creme de Cassis the dark undertow—Julian’s fate in a swirl
- 1/2 ounce Fresh lemon juice a splash of sobering truth
Instructions
- Fill a shaker with ice like the Beverly Hills elite fill their lives—with no shortage.
- Add vodka, elderflower, vermouth, and lemon juice. Shake like Julian’s last desperate withdrawal.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Slowly pour the crème de cassis down the side—it’ll settle like the past always does: at the bottom.
- Garnish with a lemon twist and a dusting of dried rose petals, like the crumbling luxury of a once-beautiful life.
Perfect for watching Less Than Zero while the synths whisper and your heart cracks just a little.
