You can't sit with us!

Y’all I’m sorry I disrupted the order of recipes last week. I took the week off from the blog; if you had kids out of school last week you may understand why.

Anyway back to why you’re here!! One of my favorite spirit categories is aperitifs and digestifs; in my opinion they are wildly under used. Which is why we use them quite a bit. Aperitifs & digestifs can have a bitter, herbal, & or sweet. The big difference between the two is aperitifs are low alcohol and are meant to stimulate your appetite, where digestifs are higher alcohol content are are intended to help with digestion or soothing a tummy after a meal.

This cocktail is made with an aperitif, and it is extremely easy to make and the only prep required is going to the store to grab your ingredients!!

The Ingredients (Single Cocktail)

1 oz Sipsmith Sloe Gin

1 oz. Select Aperitif

.5 oz Lemon Juice

1 Two Pitchers Blood Orange Radler (to top off the cocktail)

Batch It Babe (5 Mocktails)

5 oz Sipsmith Sloe Gin

5 oz. Select Aperitif

2.5 oz Lemon Juice

2 Two Pitchers Blood Orange Radler (to top off the cocktails)

How it’s done

Step 1: Add the select, gin & lemon juice to a shaker.

Step 2: Top with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds (longer if it’s more than one cocktail).

Step 3: Strain the ice and pour into your glass of choice (I prefer a rocks glass this gives you room for the Radler topper but not too much) .

Step 4: Top with a ice.

Step 5: Top off with 2-3 oz of beer, you can eyeball this.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Pro Tip: If you want a sweeter cocktail, use a larger glass and add more of the Radler, this is the sweet component of the cocktail.

Drink up Babes!!
