Summertime Tequila Negroni

05/25/2021

by: Kathy Casey

Summertime Tequila Negroni

When we think of tequila, we automatically think Margaritas, but the versatility of this spirit made us take it in a different direction. If you’ve never had a Negroni made with tequila in place of gin, you are in for a pleasant surprise! In addition to tequila, this version has tart cherry-infused Aperol, a friendly replacement for the traditional Campari. Serve on the rocks for summer sipping!

Notes

* For Tart cherry-infused Aperol
1 cup Aperol
½ cup frozen pitted tart cherries (or fresh if you can find them at the market)
