Crimson Fleur
AI-generatedMediumCoupe
A riff on the Paper Plane that swaps Aperol for Peychaud's-spiked elderflower, giving it a hauntingly floral-bitter edge with a deep rose hue.
Ingredients
- ◆3/4 oz Bourbon
- ◆3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice
- ◆3/4 oz Amaro Nonino
- ◆3/4 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
- ◆8 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Method
- 11. Chill a coupe glass with ice water while you build the drink.
- 22. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
- 33. Shake hard for 15 seconds — the lemon juice needs full dilution and chill.
- 44. Discard the ice water and double-strain into the chilled coupe.
- 55. No stirring after straining; let the layers of flavour settle naturally.
PRO TIP
The Paper Plane this riffs on uses equal parts Aperol; here the bitters take over Aperol's bitter-sweet role — taste the Peychaud's straight first so you can identify it mid-sip.
Garnish — Lemon twist, expressed and discarded
