SPOTLIGHT COCKTAIL
Summertime Tequila Negroni
When we think of tequila , we automatically think Margaritas , but the versatility of this spirit made us take it in a different direction . If you ’ ve never had a Negroni made with tequila in place of gin , you are in for a pleasant surprise ! In addition to tequila , this version has tart cherry-infused Aperol , a friendly replacement for the traditional Campari . Serve on the rocks for summer sipping !
1 oz . Silver tequila 1 oz . Tart cherry-infused Aperol * 1 oz . Sweet red vermouth
Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice . Measure in the tequila , cherry-infused Aperol and sweet red vermouth . Stir to combine . Zest the lemon peel directly over the drink and drop in . Garnish with some of the marinated cherries and a twist of lemon peel .
* For Tart cherry-infused Aperol 1 cup Aperol ½ cup frozen pitted tart cherries ( or fresh if you can find them at the market )
Place the cherries in a jar and then add the Aperol . Cover and refrigerate . Let infuse for a minimum of 2 days before using . Makes about 1 cup , enough for about 8 drinks . Use the marinated cherries as garnish for cocktails .
