- 1/2 oz of Aperol

Method:

- Strain into a coupe glass, and spoon foam on top and garnish with fresh mint and lemon-heart peel. * See below for tips on making your lemon peel heart .
Notes:
To create your heart garnish:
- Cut your lemon in half and then into a 1/2 inch wide wheel.
- Carefully cut into the top of the peel on one side and open up your wheel.
- Scrape out the lemon, leaving a thin peel strip.
- Cut your peel down the center- lengthwise, leaving the ends attached-about an 1/8".
- Gently open each end out and fold the top ends into the center, about half way and pierce with your stick working from right to left through the middle of your peel to create a heart shape. There should be 4 piercings.
- Pull out your sides of your heart peel to finesse your shape.
Enjoy!
