Paper Plane Cocktail
The Paper Plane is a citrusy cocktail most similar to the characteristics of a more bitter whiskey sour or sidecar. It's smooth, warm, and refreshing.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 3/4 ounces bourbon
- 3/4 ounces Aperol
- 3/4 ounces amaro pref. Amaro Nonino*
- 3/4 ounces lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.
- Vigorously shake and double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Optionally garnish with a tiny paper plane if you have way too much time on your hands! Just cut a small rectangle and fold it like your typical paper plane.
Notes
I’ve also used Amaro Averna and Amaro Montenegro as substitutes. It works but my favorite is Nonino by far.
Always pre-chill your glasses with ice water or place them in the freezer! This keeps your drinks cooler for much longer.
This cocktail should not be overshaken in order to preserve the overall body and not introduce too much water. Double straining with a fine mesh strainer will filter out tiny ice chips.
