Aperol Margarita is refreshing and delicious! It's made with tequila, Aperol, fresh lime juice, orange juice and seltzer.
Why you'll love this Aperol Margarita:
- Even if you don't like Aperol Spritz, you will love this! If you find that an Aperol Spritz is too bitter, this margarita with Aperol is a nice way to get the Aperol flavor in a more subtle way.
- Lower in sugar - This margarita doesn't call for any orange liqueur. We're replacing it with freshly squeezed orange juice.
- Batch make this cocktail - The recipe yields one serving, but you can easily double or triple the recipe for a crowd.
Ingredients overview:
- tequila blanco/silver - Use your favorite brand!
- Aperol - Duh!
- fresh lime juice - Don't use bottled lime juice. Fresh makes all the difference!
- freshly squeezed orange juice - You can also use 100% orange juice without any added sugar.
- ice - It's always a must for me when it comes to cocktails. My drink needs to be cold.
- seltzer - To top the drink.
- salt and a lime wedge to rim the glass - optional
