Sunshine in a glass with just enough attitude to keep things interesting. The Rum Aperol Crush is bright, citrusy, and refreshingly easy to fall for—like summer vacation with a splash of bitters and better decisions than you made last summer. One sip and you'll understand the crush part. 🍊🍹

00:10Yeah, I'm a charge.
00:11Move it.
00:12Okay, so Dave wanted something with ramen the other day.
00:16For Father's Day.
00:17Yeah, and I Googled a recipe, and this is the one that came up,
00:21and it's surprisingly simple, and it is surprisingly delicious.
00:26So it is called the Ramen Aperol Crush.
00:28Yeah.
00:29Because I have a crush on you.
00:30Oh, aren't you something?
00:33Still, after all these years, honey.
00:35After all these years.
00:35So I'm going to make it.
00:36I have a little, my recipe right here.
00:38Okay, so here we have some rum, dark rum, aged rum, preferably.
00:43This is good.
00:44I like it.
00:47Is it aged?
00:48So much so.
00:49Yeah, I'm aged.
00:49We've all aged.
00:51Welcome to 23.
00:52It's really good rum.
00:53Okay, two ounces of that.
00:55Boom.
00:56See how simple?
00:57Oh, you've got to see how fast this goes, by the way.
01:00Oh, nice dig at me.
01:02One ounce.
01:03Is this one ounce?
01:03Yes, ma'am.
01:04One ounce.
01:06Of Aperol.
01:07Of Aperol.
01:09I'm saying it, and I'm saying it deliberately.
01:12I'm not forgetting.
01:14One ounce of Aperol.
01:18Nice.
01:19One half an ounce of simple syrup.
01:22This is brown simple syrup because Dave used brown sugar, right?
01:26I think it gives it a better taste.
01:28Turbinado.
01:29Turbinado.
01:30You're using a whole half ounce, huh?
01:32Wow.
01:32Yum.
01:33Yeah, that's what it says.
01:34Yeah.
01:34Okay.
01:35Good for you.
01:35You're making me don't myself.
01:38And one half ounce.
01:41I sliced these already.
01:44Of lime juice.
01:45Look at that.
01:47Wow.
01:49That's a pretty good one.
01:50It's so good.
01:52Okay.
01:53I'm going to need a little of this guy.
01:56Okay, look at you.
01:58Limes bringing it.
02:00Sometimes limes are not juicy, but these are good.
02:02I left them out.
02:03Pretty good.
02:03Yeah, room temp.
02:05Yeah, room temp.
02:06Because cold fruit is a stingy fruit.
02:08That's it.
02:09Okay, now I'm going to shake it.
02:11You see you got a good seal on there.
02:14Now, I'm going to put you in there.
02:16Gee.
02:17Oh, yes.
02:21I shake it until my hands get a hand headache.
02:25Oh, it's so cold.
02:28That's nice and cold.
02:33Oh, come on.
02:36Well.
02:41It's the subtle way he admonishes me and judges me.
02:45Okay.
02:46Oh, it's not an admonishment.
02:48You asked for my help, I gave it to you.
02:52Oh, okay.
02:53Now I'm going to strain it for and strain.
02:55Like, this is one strain and then it's like a double strain.
02:57Double strain.
02:58You got it.
02:59Oh.
03:00Can you even see that?
03:01No, because everything's in the way.
03:03Well, you're my partner.
03:04What the hell are you doing?
03:05Oh, come on.
03:07What the hell are you going to do?
03:08Yeah.
03:09Okay.
03:10There you go.
03:11Oh.
03:13To the brim.
03:14To the brim.
03:15Oh, don't forget your lovely garnish.
03:17Here, let's put it up here.
03:18Okay.
03:19And then I put my lovely garnish on it.
03:21Oh, now that one can see.
03:23That one can't see.
03:28Don't.
03:29Don't you dare.
03:30Don't you dare.
03:31Look at that lovely drink.
03:34Cheers.
03:34Now everyone can see.
03:35Oh, whoa.
03:36That LBF made.
03:38I got it.
03:38I got a bar ride.
03:40I bought it on Amazon.
03:42I mean, you should go to a regular place.
03:44Sorry about that.
03:44But it was like $20 for $10.
03:48Lauren, that really is a good drink.
03:50It sure is.
03:51I'm so glad you discovered it.
03:53Uh-huh.
03:54It's a perfect drink for summer.
03:55Nice job, LBF.
03:57And I think that that is going to be.
03:58You know, this is a good kickoff, the holiday weekend sort of drink.
04:02It's elevated.
04:04It's rum.
04:04But it's not like the rum you drink at a wedding.
04:09Like rum and coke.
04:10Oh.
04:11This is a good rum.
04:12And this is a good drink.
04:13Cheers.
04:14Cheers.
04:15Nice job.
