This cocktail was made to be enjoyed all-year-round and I think it accomplished just that. It’s really well-balanced and I love the sweetness from the St Germain instead of something like a syrup. The sweetness really comes through despite its relatively low amount.

Making this can’t be easier. Add all ingredients and shake with ice. I serve with a large clear ice cube to keep it chilled longer but I think this would be fine without ice as well. If it can last that long. Garnish with a grapefruit peel.

Editor's Note

St-Germain replaces simple syrup here, lending a floral sweetness that plays against the bitter orange of Aperol. A bright, tequila-forward sour that works in any season.
