"Have you ever tried a paper plane cocktail? Invented in 2008 by New York City bartender Sam Ross, it consists of equal parts of four ingredients: bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice. Bitter, sour, citrusy, and deliciously complex, this drink has become a modern classic, and I'm here for it. I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't actually get on the paper plane bandwagon until last year."
"As classic cocktails go, the paper plane is a new kid on the block, developed in just 2008. The drink was created by Sam Ross for the menu of the cocktail bar The Violet Hour in Chicago (less than a mile from our house!). Ross named it after the M.I.A. song "Paper Planes," a 2007 hit. The paper plane is a twist on the Prohibition-era cocktail the Last Word, an equal parts drink made with gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and lime juice."
The Paper Plane is a modern equal-parts cocktail featuring bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice. The flavor profile is bitter, sour, citrusy, and complex while remaining balanced and approachable. Sam Ross created the drink in 2008 for The Violet Hour in Chicago and named it after the M.I.A. song "Paper Planes." The cocktail is a riff on the Prohibition-era Last Word, swapping gin for bourbon and lime for lemon, and adjusting bitter components to achieve a slightly less bitter, more rounded finish. The recipe is simple and bar-worthy for home entertaining.
