Paper Plane Cocktail Recipe
The Paper Plane mixes bourbon’s cozy warmth with bright citrus and a little bittersweet kick from the amaro and Aperol. It’s easy to make, and the flavors come together in a way that feels smooth and kind of fancy, even though it’s simple.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer
- Jigger
- Coupe Glass
- Citrus squeezer
Ingredients
- 3/4 oz Bourbon
- 3/4 oz Aperol
- 3/4 oz Amaro Nonino
- 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Pour your bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice into a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake it well until the shaker feels frosty on the outside. (That usually takes about 10 seconds.)
- Strain everything into a chilled coupe glass using a fine strainer.
- For a fun touch, you can float a tiny paper plane on top, or just leave it plain for a clean look.
