Tequila & Aperol Cocktail - aka the Dead Man's Handle!

Tequila and aperol are two ingredients that work very well together - the Part-time Lover is another great example of this flavour combination. The Dead Man's Handle was created by Tiffany Kirk from Miss Carousel in Houston.

INGREDIENTS
- 45 ml Blanco Tequila (1.5 oz)
- 22.5 ml Aperol (0.75 oz)
- 15 ml Lime Juice (0.5 oz)
- 15 ml Orgeat (0.5 oz)

Music: Old Grump - Smartface

Whoa! Almost 500k - stay tuned for #5for500k.... it may involve shots. And yes, I am now aware that it is pronounced ta-heen.

Came for the cocktail stayed for the smile 😃

[Sheepbend]

I'm honestly shocked you haven't reached 500k yet. You're a 10/10 channel!

[gspona]

@Steve, Tajin is pronounced Taheen, substitute J for an H in Spanish. I’ll try making this drink today 😁

[Sauli]

I love these recipes with everything that I already have!

[juanthomas]

I don’t know what it is about this guy that just gives me this feeling of happiness. I normally come for the smile but his humbleness and natural charisma is what’s got him to 500k. Congratulations Steve. Next stop 1M subs.

Now to my actual question. Can I substitute Aperol for Cappelletti? I got a whole bottle of Cappelletti that I use for my Negroni recipe that never ends. Anyways, congrats Mate and keep it up.

That feeling when you already have all the ingredients haha, this sounds so good tho might make it my friday treat

[janekbojanek]

I absolutely love that drink, one of the first from the book I tried!

[Tallone]

I think your channel is great! I distill my own and it gives me good ideas for cocktails.
Your smile while shaking is your trade mark. Many YouTube makers have their special trade Mark and yours is a great one keep up the great work.
Oh and Cheers is a old Viking saying meaning “ I hope you wake well in the morning “ congrats on 500 k views.

500k Steve!!! That's amazing for you, congrats for your hard work paying off! Looking forward to the shots video you mentioned in the Alchemix Bar's live stream!

About that Tajin, it is phonetically pronounced ta-heen. It is a Mexican salt consisting of ground chili peppers, sea salt and dehydrated lime juice. As always I love your videos, it is through them that I have gained the confidence to try new, different cocktails. Thank you Steve!
