Coconut Aperol Margarita

I had just made the creamy cherry maragrita and had left over coconut milk when I found this recipe.  The cherry drink was a little to tart for me and I hadn't yet bought regular cherry juice to mix and tone it down and didn't want the rest of the coconut milk to go to waste.  I had all the ingredients for this so I gave it a try.  I love Aperol Spritzs but hadn't found much else to use my Aperol for.  This was a fun change. 

Makes 1 drink.

 Ingredients:

• .75 oz lime juice
• .75 oz agave (I didn't have this but simple syrup worked!)
• 1 oz Aperol
• 1.5 oz Tequila (white)
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• Optional rim of sugar, salt or coconut flakes, lime wedge

Instructions:

1. Rim the glass if choosing to do so.
2. Add iced and all the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake well.
3. Pour into the glass (lowball).

(I didn't bother making frozen coconut cubes, and used slightly less coconut milk because there would have been space between the cubes)
