Description
Two beloved cocktails—Aperol Spritz and Margarita—come together to create a fun and refreshing cocktail that’s as delicious as it is stunning!
Ingredients
- 3 ounces blanco tequila
- 1 ½ ounces Aperol
- 1 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 ounces almond syrup (or orgeat)
- Crushed ice
- Tajín, for garnish
Almond Simple Syrup:
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure almond extract
- ⅛ teaspoon orange blossom water
Instructions
Fill two rocks glasses or stemless tulip glasses with crushed ice. Add tequila, Aperol, lime juice, and almond syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, secure lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly. Strain margaritas into prepared glasses. Finish with a light sprinkle of Tajin and enjoy!
For the syrup, bring sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan until sugar has dissolved. Off heat, stir in almond extract and orange water; let cool.
Notes
If you like your cocktails more tart than sweet, start with a little less of the syrup and adjust as needed by preference.
