Ingredients
- 1 ounce bourbon
- 1 ounce aperol
- 1 ounce Amaro Nonino
- 1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Slice the lemon in half and juice it, making sure you remove the seeds. I like to use a little bar juicer to make things easier. See expert tips below about how to get the most juice from a lemon.
- Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake gently just until chilled. Strain your Paper Plane cocktail into a coupe glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don't shake it too much: A drink made with juice should be shaken, but don't shake a Paper Plane too much. It shouldn't be frothy or foamy, just enough to chill it.
- Keep lemons at room temperature: Here's my top tip as a former bartender. It's very hard to get much juice out of a cold lemon. Keep it at room temp, and roll it gently on the counter with your palm before squeezing to get the most juice!
- Makes a great batch cocktail: The Paper Plane is a great drink to make in a big batch for cocktail parties. Because everything is in equal parts, measuring all of the ingredients is so simple—no math needed! Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
