I tried it straight up with a Tajin rim, which works good. But the Monin Orgeat is too dominant, using this I will reduce it next time and possibly use more the lime juice.

Tasty, but definitely could be sharper

Tweaked it slightly as no Aperol and as usual subbed a smaller does of Campari (10 ml) but would have actually been better with 15 ml to balance the Orgeat. Upped lime to 20 ml. A simple Tajin is very easy to replicate if again like mine you are missing this; Grate/zest 1 lime onto kitchen paper, transfer to small piece of foil and dry in a very low oven for 20 mins. Then add 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1/4 paprika and 1/4 salt. Grind all ingredients together in a pestle and mortar et voila!

Oh yeah! Great summer afternoon cocktail. Sipping now while on a coastal vacation and it is really hitting the spot. Also a good way to finish off the Aperol after the Prosecco for spritzes runs out.

Oh boy this is great, these Aperol-Campari cocktails are really sweet spots for me. I saw this cocktail at Lui Fernandez and checked if it was listed here too, of course it was. Aperol is a bit less than in his recipe, I think it's the perfect ratio.

A very interesting drink. All the ingredients come through in layers. Has a long lingering bitter aftertaste, not unpleasant. I do like tajin, but it confuses the palette here. Maybe my dusting was too generous? I think a better way to include it would be to rim half the glass to separate the flavours, just like you wouldn’t put salt in a margarita, but it’s an essential ingredient. I think that would help clear up the confusion to the taste buds. Still, a nice drink. Worth playing with.

I've made this once as written & the second time with 3/4oz Lime juice serving it up in a coupe. The latter was less sugary & more balanced for me, but dusting the rim of the glass with Tajin was what made all the flavors come together & worth concocting this cocktail again.

Very good drink. It starts off bright and sharp with citrus, and moves to bitter herbal with an almond background. Definitely an unexpected but very pleasant experience.
