  • 1.5 oz Freshly Squeezed Blood Orange Juice

Instructions

  • Add the tequila, orange liqueur, Aperol, lime juice, blood orange juice, and cream of coconut to a cocktail shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds.

  • Fill your glass with ice and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.
  • Garnish with a lime slice, blood orange slice, or regular orange slice.
  • Enjoy your Creamy Aperol Margarita!

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For a smoother drink, make sure to shake the cocktail well to fully incorporate the cream of coconut.
  • Use fresh blood oranges for the best flavor and color.
  • Adjust the amount of Aperol to your taste preference, adding more for a stronger flavor or less for a subtler touch.
