2 oz tequila (see note)
3/4 oz each of Aperol, Cherry Heering, and lemon juice.
Shake together with ice, strain into chilled coupe.
Note: the recipe calls for tequila anejo and a mezcal rinse. I had no anejo, one and a ounce plus a little more of reposado, and some really good mezcal and blanco so made up the tequila part with about 1 1/3 oz reposado, 1/3 oz blanco, 1/3 oz mezcal and that worked fine. I do think it wants a tequila with some character, the Cherry Heering will dominate if you use something too mild.
This is definitely my kind of drink. I might increase the lemon to 1 oz if making it again, or a splash of Campari . And it's beautiful as well as delicious.
