Equipment

Cocktail Shaker

Ingredients

1½ ounces Aperol
1½ ounces gin
¾ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon simple syrup
1 egg white (about 2 tbsp) *optional

Instructions

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add Aperol, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white.
Shake WELL for 30-45 seconds until fully chilled and frothy.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

The egg white produces a smooth, frothy cocktail and is recommended! Shaking your cocktail is a must to both chill and froth your cocktail.

In a coupe glass is how this drink is traditionally served.

Chill your glass in the freezer 15 minutes before serving for a frosty chilled look.
