Description
If you want to use Campari for this cocktail instead of Aperol, try reducing the amount to 1/2 ounce and increasing the simple syrup to compensate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- 3/4 ounce lemon syrup (see below, OR 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1/2 ounce lemon juice)
- 3/4 ounce Aperol
- 3 to 4 ounces soda water
- Lemon syrup: Combine equal parts lemon juice and sugar. Either shake heartily in a closed container to combine, or heat to a simmer on the stove until the sugar dissolves, then let cool. We keep this on hand all summer for making lemonade-based drinks and radlers (beer and lemonade). It will last at least 1 month in the refrigerator in a closed container.
Instructions
- – Mix together the gin, lemon syrup, and Aperol, either in a shaker with a bit of ice (especially helpful if your gin and Aperol are at room temperature) or in your serving glass (which should be large enough hold a 6-8 ounce cocktail with some ice). Add a few cubes of ice.
- – Top with soda water and give a quick stir to mix the ingredients.
