For Your Eyes Only By Millie Tang
Let’s dive into a genre which places itself between thriller and action movie, the classic 60s spy movie with the one and only Millie Tang, acting as the main protagonist and spy bartender.
For Your Eyes Only is a stylish espionage caper in which Millie is sitting outside an Italian Café reading a newspaper, but she has a mission to accomplish: create her unique interpretation of the iconic Negroni to celebrate Negroni Week.
An unidentified man sits at the table with her. The pair don’t make eye contact, but he surreptitiously slides across a duffel bag on the floor. In exchange, Millie slides across a finished serve of her From Cannes With Love Negroni to the man, adding the last touch to the cocktail: a petal rose, as a symbol of mystery and secrecy.
| From Cannes with Love Negroni by Millie Tang 25ml / 1 oz Campari 25ml / 1 oz Strawberry/rose tea and Pandan infused Gin 25ml / 1 oz Sweet Vermouth 5ml / 1 tsp PX Sherry 1 dash Cranberry bitters Cocktail cube Rose petal for garnish Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add Campari, Strawberry/rose tea and Pandan infused gin, sweet vermouth, PX Sherry and one dash of Cranberry bitters. Stir well until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled rock glass with a cocktail cube already in. Garnish with a rose petal |
From Cannes, with Love is a “beautiful way to have Campari act as a gorgeous canvas in a Negroni, because obviously you can’t have a Negroni without Campari”, according to Millie in her Behind The Scenes video.
