Found this when looking for recipes to help use a gift bottle of Aperol. I'm a bourbon drinker, so it seemed a good bet. It had the sweetness of an old-fashioned but the Aperol added a nice bitter counterfoil. The club soda made it refreshing. I'll keep it in mind for the spring and summer, when I'm less likely to want simply to sip my bourbon neat.

I like to make this drink with a bit more lemon juice - maybe 2 tsp. - and less sweetness. I omit the sugar and only add honey. I garnish with a slice of clementine when possible. Very pretty and refreshing.

I always have these ingredients on hand-- it was easy, delicious, and refreshing. Definitely keeping this one in the rotation.

I skipped the honey and sugar and just added a teaspoon of Luxardo syrup. Perfect!

Love this drink. I also omit the sugar and the club soda.

Took the advice to do rosemary honey simple syrup. Forgot the club soda, whoops. It was delicious.
