Royal Afternoon

Sother Teague, Amor y Amargo and Coup | New York

Sother Teague describes his Aperol Spritz variation as “a sunny spritz filled with bright citrus notes and a hint of sweetness, perfect for sipping on the porch on a summer day.

Showcasing the Italian bitter liqueur alongside orange citrate and sparkling rosé, this is a take on the iconic drink that is light, compared to the strong-and-stirred template for which Amor y Amargo is typically known, but still complex.
