Aperol Winery

I knew I'd seen another cool Aperol recipe lately, and just tracked it down-- a creation of the brilliant Gary Regan. The Interesting Cocktail Created by Gary Regan, 2007. 2 ounces Don Julio, El Tesoro, Milagro, or...

I'm an Aperol fan, and first had it at the home of American friends in Germany, where .5 oz or so in a glass of prosecco was quite trendy. I love that, and have introduced lots of folks to it. It's great with Cristalino,...

Okay, Dan, I've got another Aperol cocktail for you, but I'm just going to give you a link to my cocktail blog instead of copying and pasting because it's late and I'm lazy:...
