Method
Cocktail
Measure ingredients
Measure 2 tablespoons (approx. 30 ml) Japanese whisky, 2 tablespoons Aperol, 2 tablespoons amaro, 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 tablespoon simple syrup. Using tablespoons helps keep the classic Paper Crane proportions (equal parts spirits with a touch of acid and sweetness).
Add to shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice (enough to come to about two-thirds full). Add the measured whisky, Aperol, amaro, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 12–15 seconds, or until the shaker is very cold to the touch and properly diluted (you'll feel the increased condensation).
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and any pulp from the lemon juice.
