Created by Nashville bar owner Ben Clemons, El Chapo is a refreshing alternative to the Aperol Spritz, subbing beer for bubbles. Specifically, grapefruit radler from Stiegl, Austria's leading privately owned brewery.
A radler combines real fruit juice and beer for a low-alcohol, light beverage with irresistible effervescence. If you don't love grapefruit, you can also find it in lemon and raspberry flavors. Whatever you choose, it'll go great with the gin and Aperol, resulting in a bittersweet, citrusy apéritif.
Be sure to infuse your Aperol a day in advance for El Chapo. It's fairly simple to make and you can store it in the fridge for future spritzes.
