Aperol and Tonic

Credit: Christopher Buecheler, DrinkShouts

Ingredients

3 oz Fever Tree Indian Tonic Water
1 1/2 oz Aperol
1/4 oz lime juice
2-3 dashes Angostura Bitters
lime peel garnish


Directions

Build in a glass, squeeze lemon peel over drink, and use the peel as a garnish.


Notes

Well-balanced, light, refreshing, and with Aperol at only 11% ABV, the equivalent of drinking about 1/4 of a glass of white wine. I changed the recipe to use lime juice once when i didn’t have lemons, and haven’t looked back. The lime juice adds some more acidity to balance out the sweetness of the Aperol.
