This Aperol Sour is perfectly balanced and a unique way to enjoy your bottle of Aperol. It features a homemade rosemary honey simple syrup for an unexpected twist on a classic sour cocktail.
First, prepare the Rosemary Honey Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup water, 1 cup honey, and 6 rosemary sprigs. Bring to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes). Take the pan off the heat and steep for about 15 minutes or until cooled. Once the syrup is ready, prepare the Aperol Sour cocktail: In a shaker, add 2 oz Aperol, 1 oz gin, 3/4 oz rosemary honey simple syrup, 3/4 oz lemon juice, and 1 egg white. Shake without ice to create the sour’s signature froth (about 10-15 seconds). Add ice and shake again until well chilled. Pour into a coupe glass and garnish with a rosemary sprig. Cheers!
