My new favorite cocktail is this Italian Margarita. It is a combination of tequila and lime, with a combination of Italian liqueurs (Aperol and Luxardo) to substitute for the triple sec. Aperol is an Italian light herbal aperitif with a light alcohol content. Luxardo cherry liqueur has been produced in Italy since the early nineteenth century. The resulting cocktail is fruity fresh, with a little bit of bitterness, but not too much. It's very easy to drink, yet herbal and not overly sweet. For another Italian twist on a margarita, try the limoncello margarita too!
