Dos Caras Sunset
Bright, balanced, and full of character—Our “Sunset” is a bold yet refreshing cocktail that brings together earthy tequila, citrusy lemon, and bittersweet Aperol for the perfect golden-hour pour.
Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Dos Caras Blanco
0.75 oz Aperol
0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
Splash of agave syrup
Technique:
Chill your glassware – a coupe or stemmed glass. This small step makes a big difference in keeping your cocktail crisp and cold.
Build it in the shaker – Pour the Dos Caras Blanco, Aperol, fresh lemon juice, and agave syrup into a cocktail shaker, fill with ice. Don’t hold back with the ice here; you want a good chill and dilution for balance.
Shake it with purpose – Shake for around 10–15 seconds, enough to combine the ingredients well and chill them thoroughly. Listen for that frosty sound as the shaker cools in your hands.
Strain and serve – Double strain the mix into your chilled glass, catching any small bits of ice for a smooth, velvety texture.
Garnish with an orange peel twist – Cut a strip of orange peel, twist it over the glass to release its oils, and either drop it into the drink or rest it on the rim.

Dos Caras Blanco has a smooth, earthy agave base with subtle peppery notes, creating the perfect setting for the drink’s citrusy, herbal twist. This is the heart of the “Sunset.”
Aperol’s bittersweet, orange-forward flavor adds a light touch of herbal depth and a stunning sunset hue, balancing the tequila without overpowering it.
Fresh lemon juice is key here: it provides bright, vibrant acidity that cuts through the richness of the tequila and Aperol, giving the drink a refreshing edge.
Add to taste; this is where you can control the drink’s sweetness. A dash of agave rounds out the flavors with a hint of sweetness that beautifully complements the agave notes in Dos Caras Blanco.
