Aperol Margarita

The APEROL MARGARITA combines two summer favorites: The margarita and the Aperol spritz. A splash of Italian Aperol substitutes for the orange liqueur normally used in a margarita and adds its own bittersweet twist. Fresh orange juice is added to take away the sour edge of Aperol, leaving a zesty and very flavorful margarita.

Requirements: tequila (silver preferred), Aperol, orange juice, agave syrup, lime juice, orange slice or lime wedge garnish

• 2 oz.tequila blanco
• 1 oz. Aperol
• 1.5 oz. orange juice
• 1 oz. lime juice
• 1/2 oz. agave syrup
• 1 orange slice and/or lime wedge

Add ingredients to an ice-filled shaker. Shake to chill and strain into an ice-filled Old-Fashioned or coupe glass. Garnish with an orange slice and/or a lime wedge.

Comments: With orange juice and Aperol handy, this is easily a repeat margarita to enjoy. It can be served with or without a salt-rimmed glass.
