For our take on the classic tequila sunrise, we substituted the mildly bittersweet Italian spirit Aperol for the typical (and often too sweet) grenadine. And we loved the way a dose of chocolate bitters—½ teaspoon’s worth—complemented the orange juice.

Ingredients
  • 4

    ounces tequila blanco

  • 4

    ounces orange juice

  • 1

    ounce lemon juice

  • 1

    ounce Aperol

  • ½

    teaspoon chocolate bitters

In a cocktail shaker, combine all of the ingredients. Fill the shaker with ice, then shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into chilled rocks glasses.
