East Bay Sunset

1 oz Aromatized wine, Lillet Blanc
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Gin, Hendrick's
2 oz Dry white wine
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain, serve

Notes

Substitute dry vermouth for less bitterness, modest minerally white (budget sauvignon blanc) blends well, but less vino or more aggressive gin can tip the balance nicely

History

Tired of Kirs, inspired by summer leftovers including an Unusual Negroni

  • Comes out a beautiful color orange. This is actually much more complex than you'd expect. Strong citrus flavor, and the Aquavit adds that extra layer to the flavor.
  • Used Brennivín. Tastes mostly like orgeat and lime although a tiny bit of caraway can be sensed. Would reduce both next time.
  • Made with Brennivín. Pale pink, but the taste is not so "girly." Good! — ★★★★

Shawn C commented on 3/13/2023:

Clear and vibrant slightly orangish/pinkish medium red. Somewhat sweet, but balanced by the Campari's bitterness. Pink grapefruit and light red berry/almost strawberry flavor.
