Unlike the popular Aperol Spritz, the Aperol Sour is a frothy drink made with egg whites, gin and lemon or lime juice
- 2 oz Aperol
- 1 oz London dry gin
- 1 oz lemon or lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white
- A couple of dashes of Angostura bitters
- Ice cubes
- Lemon or lime twist for garnish
Instructions
- Add the Aperol, gin, lemon (or lime) juice, simple syrup, egg white and bitters to a cocktail shaker without ice. (Before adding ice, we put on the cocktail shaker top and shake the mixture for 30 seconds. This is called a dry shake. By using a dry shake method, the egg white can better incorporate with the other ingredients and build a stronger frothy topping.)
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the cocktail shaker and shake for at least a minute to cool the mix.
- Strain the Aperol Sour into a chilled glass.
- For the perfect finishing touch, garnish with a lemon (or lime) twist.
