Aperol Margarita
This Aperol margarita recipe is easy to make with Aperol, lime juice, and your favorite tequila.
Aperol spritzes meet margs with these vibrant Aperol margaritas! ♡
We traditionally make margs in our house using Cointreau. But my friend, Lindsey, recently mentioned that she’s been enjoying hers lately with Aperol, which lends more of a bittersweet and herby flavor to the cocktail and also gives it a vibrant orange hue. So we’ve been giving it a try this summer and are now officially hooked!
The Aperol still gives a margarita the orange flavor we all know and love, but it’s slightly less sweet in a good way, giving the cocktail a touch more of the zingy, citrusy, bitterness that I personally love. It also lowers the ABV of the cocktail nearly by half (from ~30% to 22%), which is perfect if you’re looking for a lighter summer cocktail. And while I generally prefer mezcal margaritas, both Barclay and I found that we actually enjoyed this one made with a good crisp tequila, which really lets the delicate Aperol flavors shine through.
I highly recommend a Tajín salt rim, or you’re welcome to also muddle in some fresh jalapeño wedges to add a spicy kick. Then serve it up nice and chilled on the rocks, and enjoy enjoy! Cheers!
