Calories: 293kcal
Ingredients
- 2 oz Aperol
- 1 oz tequila
- 1 oz fresh lime juice from 1 whole lime
- ¾ oz cream of coconut
- Spicy tajin rim, optional
Instructions
- Rim a short glass with lime and spicy tajin or plain salt.
- Add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until frosty.
- Fill the glass with fresh ice and strain into the cup. Garnish with dehydrated citrus and a little Thai chili if you dare.
Notes
- I use Coco Reàl Cream of Coconut which is a sweetened coconut syrup for cocktails. You could alternatively use ¾ oz of real coconut milk and ¼ - ½ oz simple syrup depending on how sweet you like your drinks.
- Make this drink spicy by muddling in some sliced jalapeño or thai chili before adding the ingredients to the shaker. Be careful since these can be quite hot.
- Batching: Make a larger quantity of drinks by stirring the ingredients together in a pitcher. Multiply the ingredient quantities by the number of drinks you wish to make. Don't add ice to the pitcher, add it directly to the glasses when serving.
