Gin and Aperol, Summer Refreshment
When its warm outside, or even inside, this is a great refreshing drink, can be mixed quickly, and even easier and quicker the way we mix it
Ingredients
* 1 - 1 1/4 oz. gin (depending on strong you like it!)
* 3/4 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/2 oz. Aperol
* 1/4 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec
* Cocktail Shaker
* Vitamix
Get your cocktail shaker, pour in you Gin, Aperol, Lemon and Cointreau, add ice, shake it, till you make it, as all good bartenders will tell you, remember to smile while you're shaking, strain into your glass, please note this is a serving for 1, with only 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 oz. of liquid, this will be a small glass, for extra garnish and lemon flavor, add some lemon peel
Now, how to change it up a little, take your Vitamix and Vitamix Aer, get them ready to mix (muddle), pour in your Gin (5 oz.) Aperol (2 oz.), Lemon (6 oz.) and Cointreau (1 oz.), turn on your Vitamix, set it to 10, watch the Vitamix Aer do its thing for 30 seconds, turn it off, get 2 large glasses, fill both with ice, evenly strain your cocktail into both glasses, add your lemon peel, straw, you are good to go, due to how unfriendly plastic straws are, and paper straws just don't cut it in this scenario, we use reusable stainless Steel Straws
Sit outside on a warm summer night, and enjoy, although we can't sit for too long, as we go ahead and finish our first, we're ready to start our second
