Notes
- Instead of Aperol, use an equal amount of Campari. Campari is a little more bitter than Aperol, so you may taste a difference. Triple sec is another great alternative that is a little sweeter side.
- Dip the rim of each glass into Tajín seasoning for a little spicy kick. Here comes a Spicy Aperol Margarita!! You can also muddle some cut jalapenos for extra spiciness.
- If you like a sweeter cocktail, add maple or agave syrup as per taste.
- Swap tequila with equal amount mezcal and make Aperol mezcal margarita.
