Imperial Cocktail.
Lime juice: Missing
Gin: Missing
Aperol: Missing
Imperial Cocktail uses more Aperol and lime juice than gin, making citrus and bitter-orange flavors central. Aperol contributes sweetness, but the equal lime portion keeps the balance notably sour. Shaking integrates the three ingredients and gives the bright-colored mixture a cold, lightly aerated finish.
