With Aperol, gin, fresh lemon juice and some simple syrup, this sour tastes like an orange popsicle in cocktail form.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Aperol
  • 1 oz gin
  • ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • 1 egg white (optional)

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker without ice. Shake for 30 seconds. Add ice and shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and top add a lemon peel as garnish.

Notes

    • Use a gin you like as some of the flavor comes from it.
    • You can leave the gin out if you like a lower alcohol content or want an even more prominent Aperol flavor.
    • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice just isn't as good.
    • You can replace the lemon with lime juice if you prefer.
    • Do a dry shake first before adding the ice which cools the drink but strengthens the foam.
    • Chill the glass so it remains cold for longer.
