Method
Base & Spirits
Combine spirits and juices
Add 2 oz reposado tequila, 0.75 oz Aperol, 1 oz fresh orange juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker.
Add sweetener
Add 0.5 oz agave syrup to the shaker. This balances the citrus and Aperol's bitter-sweet character.
Mixing
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill thoroughly), cap it, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.
Prepare a rocks or double old-fashioned glass by filling it with fresh ice (or leave chilled if you prefer neat presentation).
Finish & Serve
Double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass over fresh ice to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the orange juice.
Express an orange twist over the drink to release oils, run it around the rim, and drop the twist or a thin orange wheel into the glass as garnish.
