The Paper Plane Cocktail Explained: Simple, Balanced, and Dangerously Good

Описание: Get the Home Bartender Starter Kit → https://bit.ly/3I4tIDf

The Paper Plane cocktail is an equal-parts modern classic that proves simple does not mean boring. Built with bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice, it balances bright citrus, gentle sweetness, and herbal bitterness in a way that feels effortless and dangerously drinkable.

Created during the modern cocktail revival, the Paper Plane became a staple behind the bar because it is easy to remember, hard to mess up, and perfectly structured. It looks polite, tastes layered, and somehow manages to feel both refreshing and serious at the same time.

Whether you are new to amaro or already love bitter-forward cocktails, the Paper Plane is a perfect place to land.

🍸 Recipe — Paper Plane
3/4 oz Bourbon
3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz Amaro Nonino (or Montenegro)
3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake hard until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass. No garnish needed, but an expressed lemon peel works nicely if you want one.

Tip: Most bars use 3/4 oz pours to keep the drink tight and balanced. At home, you can bump everything to 1 oz if you want it bigger, just keep the ratios equal.
