Cocktail

3/4 oz Crown Royal (Canadian whisky)3/4 oz Aperol3/4 oz Amaro (e.g., Amaro Nonino or similar)3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice6 cubes Ice (for shaking)3 cubes Ice (for chilling glass - optional)1 to taste Lemon twist or peel (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Chill glass (optional)

Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with 2–3 ice cubes and water to chill while you prepare the drink.

Add 0.75 oz Crown Royal, 0.75 oz Aperol, 0.75 oz Amaro, and 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice to a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with about 6 ice cubes. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and well diluted.

Discard the ice (if any) from the chilled glass. Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch small ice chips and pulp.

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release the oils, rub the peel on the rim (optional), and drop the twist into the cocktail as garnish.

Serve immediately. The Paper Plane is best enjoyed cold and freshly shaken.
