This cocktail doesn't necessarily look dangerous -- it's a lovely, frilly shade of pink -- but someone at The Corner Door in Culver City must have had their reasons for naming it as they did. Aperol is made from fruits and herbs, and orgeat from almonds and sugar, so this tastes like an easy drink ... but be careful, she'll trick you. Pair this summer sipper with some roasted tomato and whipped feta bruschetta for a lovely little cocktail party.

3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Vanilla-infused Orgeat
