Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Aperol, 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 oz simple syrup with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well-chilled.
  2. Step 2: Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass. Top with 1 oz club soda and give a single gentle stir to incorporate the bubbles without deflating the foam.
  3. Step 3: Garnish with a lemon twist, pressing it against the glass to release essential oils before placing it in the drink.
