Paper Plane

The Paper Plane is a modern classic cocktail that's both balanced and vibrant, with a unique blend of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. It consists of equal parts: bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino Quintessentia, and fresh lemon juice. Bourbon provides a smooth, slightly sweet base, while Aperol adds a touch of bitter orange flavor. Amaro Nonino, an Italian herbal liqueur, introduces a complex, bittersweet profile that complements the sharpness of the lemon juice. The combination results in a refreshing, medium-bodied cocktail with a bright, appealing color. Typically served in a coupe glass and garnished with a small paper airplane or a simple citrus twist, the Paper Plane is perfect for those who appreciate a cocktail that delivers both sophistication and approachable flavor.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Coupe Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
