These Aperol sour variations are made using the classic sour cocktail formula. Nutritional estimates are presented for the Aperol gin sour variation.
To make a simple syrup, simply combine equal amounts of sugar and water in a pot and heat over low until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool before using.
If making the Aperol gin sour variation with egg white, doing the dry shake first allows you to create a foamy top without over-diluting your cocktail. I suggest doing this dry shake over the sink, because it can get messy!
