2 oz tequila (see note)

3/4 oz each of Aperol, Cherry Heering, and lemon juice.

Shake together with ice, strain into chilled coupe.

Note: the recipe calls for tequila anejo and a mezcal rinse. I had no anejo, one and a ounce plus a little more of reposado, and some really good mezcal and blanco so made up the tequila part with about 1 1/3 oz reposado, 1/3 oz blanco, 1/3 oz mezcal and that worked fine. I do think it wants a tequila with some character, the Cherry Heering will dominate if you use something too mild.

This is definitely my kind of drink. I might increase the lemon to 1 oz if making it again, or a splash of Campari . And it's beautiful as well as delicious.

Cocktails, the libationary art!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
