Add the reposado tequila, fresh ruby grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, Aperol, and orange bitters into a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (about 3/4 full or roughly 1 cup) and cap. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and you see proper dilution and aeration.
- 3
Fill an old-fashioned glass (or rocks glass) with fresh ice.
- 4
Double-strain the shaken mixture over the fresh ice to remove small ice chips and pulp for a smoother drink.

Garnish with a grapefruit twist or a thin grapefruit wheel laid on the ice. If using, float a thin slice of chile on top for an extra spicy aroma.
