How to Make the Petrucio Cocktail

Aperol is a fascinating ingredient which is making it's way back onto the market these days. It is similar to Campari, but not nearly as intense in its flavor. I created the "Petruchio" as a way to highlight Aperol, as well as mess around with using Scotch much the way you might use bitters in a drink. Aperol is produced in Padova (aka: "Padua") which is the setting for Shakespear's "The Taming of the Shrew", and so I named this drink after the main character in that play.
