Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a rocks glass or coupe in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
Build and shake
Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, ginger liqueur (or ginger syrup + a splash of neutral spirit), agave nectar, Aperol, and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and well chilled, and the ingredients are fully integrated and slightly diluted.
Prepare glass
Discard ice water from the chilled glass if used. Add fresh ice to the rocks glass if serving on the rocks; if serving up, leave dry.
Strain
Double-strain (using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the prepared glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lime juice, unless serving over ice—in that case, single strain is acceptable.
Top
Top the cocktail with approximately 2 oz ginger beer, pouring gently so the soda layers slightly and retains some effervescence.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim or a piece of candied ginger skewered and laid across the glass. Serve immediately.
