The 212, from beverage consultants Aisha Sharpe and Willy Shine, is a wonderfully refreshing long drink that’s as easy to make as it is to sip.
The 212 refers to the Manhattan area code, but also to the drink’s proportions. How easy is that?
Sharpe and Shine call for Aperol, a not-too-bitter apéritif, and it’s a good choice. It makes up a big share of the sweetness in this drink, and an überbitter option like Campari would make this a hard drink for most folks to swallow.
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a tall ice-filled glass. Garnish with a twist of orange or grapefruit.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
