Folio.YVR Issue #2: An Evening with Dea Fortuna at Ultra-Luxury Stefano Ricci
GOLDEN GOOSE
Behold the delicious Golden Goose. Conceived and crafted by Andrew Fletcher, Operations & Creative Beverage Director of private members club Dea Fortuna.
A gorgeous cocktail topped with edible flowers and flakes of gold, and served in a slender coupette to our VIP guests at the Stefano Ricci boutique in Vancouver’s ‘Luxury Zone.’
With a base of fresh pressed lime, followed by Yin Zhen syrup created with Pai Mu Tan tea from the Fujian Province. Highly prized for its health benefits and richness in vitamins, Fletcher procured the perfect loose tea obtained from the TWG Tea Salon on West Georgia Street under the guidance from Lukas Cervenka, Salon Manager & Tea Sommelier.
The smooth crisp flavour of the Golden Goose originates with especially batched for this Dea Fortuna event — an unreleased Octavia ‘Apple Pie’ Flavoured Vodka.
Six-times distilled to create a perfect balance; it is completely free of additives, including sugar and glycerin.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Vanilla Essence / 1 oz. Edible Flowers / .25 oz Fresh Pressed Lime / 1.0 oz Yin Zhen Syrup / 1.5 oz Octavia Apple Vodka
SOUTHERN SUNRISE
This light and sparkling version of the Tequila Sunrise is pure west coast.
Our second drink of the evening was also conceived and crafted by Andrew Fletcher.
This cocktail is already a must-mix for any get-together’s on the terrace this summer.
Add the raspberry puree to a Collins glass, followed by the fresh pressed apple juice.
Add the magnificent Clase Azul Plata. This ultra-premium spirit is made from organic agave and aged to perfection.
