Italian Sailor:
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1.5 oz sailor Jerry rum
- 1 oz aperol
- 0.5 oz Malibu
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
Shake over ice and strain into glass. Serve up in a chilled glass or on the rocks.
Slightly sweet from the rum and simple syrup, balanced by the aperol and lime.
Could also be made with egg whites for a creamier texture.
I’m loving a summer negroni with gin, campari, and lemonade. I guess some places are adding grapes and calling it an enzoni? It would be good and a little lighter with Aperol, so I’ll submit…
1 part gin
1 part Aperol
1 or 2 parts lemonade as preferred
Shake and pour over ice.
Topped with soda in a tall glass if you prefer a cooler.
Dead Man’ Handle
1.5 oz White Tequila
.5 oz Aperol
.5 oz Lime Juice
.5 oz Orgeat
Shake vigoursly over ice and serve in a tall glass over crushed ice. Sprinkle some Tajin on top.
I tried coming up with my own take on this and none of the changes I tried made it better. There’s a bar near me that makes their own sesame orgeat and I bet that would be good.
