Method

1

Add the tequila, lemon juice, Aperol, elderflower liqueur, and Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker.

2

Fill the shaker halfway with ice, seal, and shake hard for about 20 seconds, until the outside is fully frosted.

3

Fill a chilled rocks glass with fresh ice.

4

Strain the cocktail into the rocks glass. Express a grapefruit peel over the surface, rim the glass, and drop it in.

Half in love with the afternoon, half in love with the glass.
