Adjusted Paper Plane

An aperitif before tostadas of black beans and leftover steak, onions, cheese and homegrown lettuce. I really like Paper Plane in theory but in practice it’s way too sweet and slightly too muted for my palate. This is my favorite variation - twice the bourbon, splash of Campari, little more lemon than the original. So, not so sweet and just a little more tart, bitter, and boozy.

2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond

1oz Aperol

1oz Amaro Nonino

1.25oz lemon

Splash of Campari (about 2 teaspoons, maybe less, I think of it as adjusting the Aperol)

Shake shake shake. Half into this coupe, half into the freezer for after dinner.

Today,

I’ve started drinking a bold whiskey or rye with amaro and skipping the rest. It was cold, rainy and i was searching for something warm and cozy to sip by the fireplace in a hotel bar while i pretend to work. thespeckledpalate.com/busted-pipe-bourbon-amaro-c…

MysticKetchup,

I’m gonna have to try this, while I enjoy a paper plane it sounds like it would be even better with some extra tartness

ichmagrum,

Neat!

Same, though my favorite variation is replacing Nonino with a herbal amaro like Averna.
