Brandon Boudet, chef at Dominick's, Little Dom's, the 101 Coffee Shop, and Tom Bergin's (all in Los Angeles), came up with this refreshing twist on a classic Old Etonian cocktail: He tops it up with club soda instead of serving it neat. It's one of his favorite ways to enjoy Lillet, the French aperitif.

Ingredients

 1.5 ounces (3 tbsp.) gin, such as Broker's London Dry Gin
 1.5 ounces (3 tbsp.) Lillet Blanc*
 3 or 4 dashes orange bitters
 2 teaspoons Noyau de Poissy* or crème de noyaux*
  Club soda
  Nectarine or apricot slices
  Large orange peel twist
