While the supper finishes cooking.

1 oz limoncello

1oz Aperol

2 oz vodka

1 oz lemon

Trying to design something with Aperol and limoncello so just trying a simple mix first. Still a little too sweet even with so much lemon, and could use a little more bitter, but I will figure it out. Not tonight, this is definitely a one and done.

    Sounds tasty! Perhaps you could sub the Aperol for Campari and it may be a little less sweet?

      May try that next, but something about Aperol & Limoncello makes sense to me. Maybe a spoonful of the Campari, or just expressed lemon peel, will play around with it soon. Kind of want it for the house drink for Thanksgiving so may try to make a lower octane version too.

          Well, I tried it with a splash of Campari and all that happened was it ended up tasting just like grapefruit juice! I am abandoning the Aperol/Limoncello idea. They are too sweet together and adding sour & bitter just recreates what one could get with fresh grapefruit juice.

            Ahh damn. I suppose that makes sense. I get that effect with Enzonis, they end up tasting exactly like grapefruit juice. Tasty though!

            A for effort with your attempts, was worth a shot 🙂
