Aperol Sour


  • Author: Maggie Weaver

Description

The blueprint for a sour is simple: spirit, sugar, and citrus.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½  oz Aperol
  • 1 ½ oz gin
  • ¾ oz lemon juice
  • 1 bar spoon of simple syrup
  • Egg white (optional, for foam)
  • Lemon wheel, for garnish

Instructions

Add ice to a coupe glass and set aside. Add Aperol, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white, if using, to a shaker. Add ice and shake (until frothy, if using an egg white). Dump out the ice in the coupe and strain the cocktail into the chilled glass. Garnish with citrus and sit down to enjoy…perhaps with a saucy, spicy bruschetta.
