Cocktails, the libationary art! @lemmy.world RBWells @lemmy.world 12mo ago

Rainy day appertif

While the supper finishes cooking.

1 oz limoncello

1oz Aperol

2 oz vodka

1 oz lemon

Trying to design something with Aperol and limoncello so just trying a simple mix first. Still a little too sweet even with so much lemon, and could use a little more bitter, but I will figure it out. Not tonight, this is definitely a one and done.

Sounds tasty! Perhaps you could sub the Aperol for Campari and it may be a little less sweet?
- May try that next, but something about Aperol & Limoncello makes sense to me. Maybe a spoonful of the Campari, or just expressed lemon peel, will play around with it soon. Kind of want it for the house drink for Thanksgiving so may try to make a lower octane version too.
  
  Makes sense! Good luck :D
Maybe cut the limoncello and aperol down to 0.5 each to balance with the lemon? Also seems like it could be good with gin instead of vodka.

Or could even do an equal parts drink like corpse reviver #2 or paper plane. Or maybe making it long with soda could cut the sweetness too.

Sounds like a great starting point though!
