Additional Notes

*Coconut Oil-Washed Aperol 

Pour Aperol into a metal Bain and set aside. Melt down a jar of coconut oil (approx. 415mL). Slowly pour the melted coconut oil into the Bain with the Aperol. Once all the oil is in, stir to combine ingredients and cover the Bain with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the coconut oil solidifies, then strain the solids and rebottle the Aperol.
 
**Pineapple Air

Combine 100g of pineapple juice with 1g of soy lecithin powder. Hit the mixture with an immersion blender until foam starts to form.
