Aperol Margaritas are the perfect blend of citrusy flavors, combining the classic margarita with the vibrant, slightly sweet, bitter notes of Aperol. This twist on a traditional margarita is bright, bold, and perfect for warm-weather sipping.
With its gorgeous orange hue and smooth, well-balanced taste, this cocktail is sure to become a favorite. Shake up this refreshing cocktail and enjoy a delicious new way to sip on a margarita!
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh lime juice – Bottled juice won’t give you the same bright, zesty flavor, so always squeeze fresh limes.
- Balance the bitterness – If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add a splash more agave syrup to mellow out Aperol’s natural bitterness.
- Salt or sugar rim? – This margarita is topped with Tajin instead of the classic salt or sugar rim. You could rim the glass in Tajin for a more flavor.
