Method
Prep
- 1
Prepare rim
Pour the roses salt onto a small shallow plate. Run a lime wedge around the outside rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass to moisten, then dip the rim into the roses salt to create an even, decorative salt rim. Set the glass aside to dry briefly.

Measure ingredients
Measure Don Julio Reposado, Aperol, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar so they are ready at the shaker.
Build & Shake
- 3
Add 2 oz Don Julio Reposado, 0.75 oz Aperol, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar into a cocktail shaker.
- 4
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to properly chill and dilute. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds — until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
Strain & Garnish
- 5
Fine-strain (or double-strain) the shaken cocktail into the prepared, salt-rimmed chilled coupe or rocks glass. Strain to remove small ice shards for a clean presentation.
- 6
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and, if desired, float one edible rose petal on the surface for a visual pink accent.
- 7
Serve immediately.
