ABOUT
This cocktail was created at Barely Disfigured (@barelydisfigured; Brooklyn, NYC). In their version, they infuse Aperol with red chiles, though I opted for a habanero shrub. I love splitting my agave spirits, so when I saw the tequila/mezcal base here, I was stoked. The Aperol brightens it and the little bit of heat goes so nicely with the pineapple and lime. Cheers y’all!
