This aperol sour is a delicious, lower-calorie cocktail from the bar team at lovely hotel bar Spirits & Tales atThe Oakland. It’s only about 159 calories and uses Aquafaba rather than egg white for the classic “sour” cocktail look. For another take, try this Classic Whiskey Sour.

What Makes this Aperol Sour “Sour”? 

You have probably heard of a whiskey sour, the most popular version of a sour. But sour cocktails are really any blend of lemon and lime juice, a base liquor, and a sweetener of some sort. Many use egg whites, but they don’t have necessarily have to. This sour uses aperol as the base liquor, a lighter aperitivo known best as the base for the ever-popular aperol spritz. This pairs well with the citrus element of the sour cocktail.
