Aperol Squirrel
Spring 2026
Even though this recipe cuts the cream in half (you can even use oat milk, but the texture will be less luxurious) and uses a bittersweet Italian aperitivo instead of a dessert liqueur, it’s still a rich and creamy treat.
Makes 2 drinks
5 oz Italian aperitivo, such as Aperol (LCBO 176834)
3 oz white crème de cacao
3 oz whipping cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg to garnish
2 whole star anise pods to garnish
1. Add aperitivo, white crème de cacao and cream to an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 60 seconds.
2. Strain into two chilled Nick & Nora coupe glasses. Grate nutmeg over drink and float a star anise pod on top.
