Aperol Margarita

Allie Hagerty
This Aperol Margarita recipe is a super simple tequila cocktail that's perfect year-round. It's one of my favorite drinks and combines the flavor of a classic Aperol spritz with a traditional margarita. You can also make a large batch of this Aperol Margarita, perfect for a party or Cinco de Mayo!
