Ingredients

1½ oz Reposado tequila
½ oz Strega
¾ oz Fresh lemon juice
¼ oz Aperol
¼ oz Simple syrup

Story

Created to use fresh lemons with the more herbal and bitter bottles on hand, Golden Hour lets Strega carry the role that orange liqueur often plays beside reposado tequila.

Method

Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
Shake until thoroughly chilled.
Double-strain into a chilled coupe.
Garnish with a lemon twist.

Notes

Bright, herbal, and slightly bitter.
The combination of Strega, reposado tequila, and lemon is the center of the drink.
