Bitter Bitch
+ 1 Likes
Submitted on: November 30, 2025
When life gives you lemons and oranges… don’t get bitter — drink it! Meet the Bitter Bitch: bold, bright, bitter, and unapologetically beautiful. 💋 This cocktail walks that fine line between sweet and sassy with limoncello and orange juice bringing the sunshine ☀️, while lemon juice and a float of Aperol add that sharp, bitter edge. The result? A glass full of citrus attitude that refuses to be ignored. Shake it, pour it, and raise a toast to being just the right amount of bitter. 😉

In a cocktail shaker with ice, add all ingredients except the Aperol. Shake to chill and fine strain into a coupe. Add Aperol by pouring gently down the side of the glass. Garnish with an orange peel and enjoy!
Editor's Note
Limoncello and fresh citrus create a bright, sunshine-forward sour. A delicate Aperol float adds a necessary bitter edge to the finish.

This sounds like such a bright and refreshing cocktail! I love the idea of using a float of Aperol to add that extra bit of complexity to the citrus profile.
