Here’s a Clarified Paper Plane—batched and Ready for the Hol

• gesamtzeit: 3 hours

Zutaten

This is the fifth and final part of my batched cocktail series, where I show you how to turn a classic cocktail into a crystal-clear version that’s perfect for hosting.

Clarified cocktails might sound intimidating, but this is one of the easiest clarified drinks you can make—because the Paper Plane is all equal parts.

Clarified Paper Plane – Batch Recipe

10 oz bourbon

10 oz Aperol

10 oz Amaro Nonino

10 oz fresh lemon juice

8 oz whole milk (about 20% of total volume)

Anweisungen

Mix all cocktail ingredients together in a container.

Slowly pour the mixture over the milk (not the other way around).

Let it curdle and rest for at least a few hours—overnight is ideal.

Strain through a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag.

The first liquid will be cloudy—pour it back into the filter and continue until clear.

Once strained, you’ll have a clear, silky, batched Paper Plane with a smooth texture and balanced flavor—ready to pour over ice or serve straight from the fridge. If you want to add slightly more dilution you can stir this over ice for 10-15 seconds and serve.

Perfect for holiday cocktails, batch drinks, bartending, and anyone who loves modern cocktail techniques without the stress.

Make it once. Serve it all week.

Enjoy.
