This Aperol margarita recipe is one of my favorite summer margaritas to make at home! I personally love Aperol and tequila, so combining these two things makes one of my favorite cocktail recipes.

Notes

Substitutions and variations

Tequila.​ I use tequila blanco, but you could also use reposado tequila in this recipe. 
Grapefruit Juice.​ I also love the combination of grapefruit juice and Aperol, so if you want to make this into an Aperol grapefruit margarita, substitute out the orange juice for grapefruit juice.
