PAPER PLANE

The first time I had a paper plane I was struck by the wonderful combination of flavors.  At the time, amaro and Aperol were a bit unknown to me and this cocktail was a great introduction!  It’s well-balanced with everything working in harmony, though you could throw the balance off a little with more bourbon, if you feel so inclined!

Recipe

3/4 oz Bourbon

3/4 oz Aperol

3/4 oz Amaro

3/4 oz Lemon Juice

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.  Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, 15 seconds.  Strain into stemmed cocktail glass.
