How to Make It:
Stir the whiskey, the Aperol, and the sugar in a chilled glass until the sugar is dissolved. Fill to near the top with champagne, add a squeeze of lemon then garnish with the slice, and enjoy. Note: This much booze will totally get you drunk in love. This recipe is easily halved for sipping or serving at a party. If you’re going to make a batch to serve to a group, just mix the whiskey, Aperol and sugar ahead of time, then pour the champagne into each glass.
Why We Like It:
Remember the song "Drunk in Love" by Beyoncé? That is why this cocktail was made. A few unreliable Internet sources have different claims to her favorite drink, but her Instagram feed some time ago said she likes champagne. I do love a good champagne cocktail, so I mixed a little whiskey with aperol and topped it off with some bubbly for Beyoncé. This easy cocktail is also a really manly way to drink champagne.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces whiskey
