By Late2Serenity

Ingredients

• Ice as needed
• 2 oz. aperol
• 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 oz. simple syrup (see recipe below)
• 1 oz. egg white
• Grapefruit twist for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice, combine the aperol, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white and shake until well chilled, 20 to 30 seconds. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a grapefruit twist and serve immediately. Serves 1.


Simple Syrup

1 cup water
1 cup sugar

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water to a simmer. Add the sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the syrup into a clean 1-pint bottle, cap it and refrigerate until ready to use. Makes 1 1⁄2 cups.
