A paper plane cocktail ranks as one of my most beloved drinks to make and drink. Four equal parts make it easy to remember, and it combines my favorite spirit, bourbon, (don’t tell my friend gin) with bittersweet Aperol, herby earthy but refreshing amaro Nonino and a splash of tart lemon for balance.<\/p>\n

The paper plane is a relatively recent addition to the cocktail canon, created by Sam Ross in 2008. It appeared on the menu at Chicago’s famed The Violet Hour, named for the song “Paper Planes” by M.I.A. that had just hit the airwaves that summer.<\/p>\n

The unique combination of an aperitif (Aperol), usually sipped before a meal, and a digestif (amaro Nonino), often served after supper to settle the stomach, makes this a perfectly balanced yin-yang bourbon cocktail<\/a> for any time. Our paper plane cocktail recipe is easy to scale up to serve a thirsty crowd, but be careful: It packs an unexpectedly boozy punch.<\/p>\n
