Ariel

It was a lot easier to make cocktails and blog about them when I didn't have to work!

The Ariel is my own take on a Jasmine, from Townhouse in Emeryvile, California. I substitute Aperol for Campari and add simple syrup. You might notice that I like to substitute Aperol for Campari. First, I like Aperol and second, I don't like Campari. For me, Camapari is too bitter and overwhelms drinks making them taste like potpourri.

Ariel
