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

  1. 11. Chill a coupe glass with ice water while you build the drink.
  2. 22. Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
  3. 33. Shake hard for 15 seconds — the lemon juice needs full dilution and chill.
  4. 44. Discard the ice water and double-strain into the chilled coupe.
  5. 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
