The Gin Cocktail American Bars Are Reaching For as Summer Turns to Fall

A well-known bartender has a lesser-known drink built around Aperol and gin, made for the exact moment the weather turns. It is not the bright, bitter Aperol spritz most drinkers know from August afternoons — it is a quieter, more considered pour meant for the shift into fall. The recipe comes from someone with real standing behind the bar, not a passing trend piece, which is why it is worth a second look. We have not tasted this one ourselves, so we will let the details speak for the drink rather than rate it.
