paper plane cocktail

The Paper Plane cocktail is a modern classic that's a must try! It's bittersweet and tangy, hitting a magical balance between bourbon and amaro.

Paper Plane Cocktail

(2 tablespoons) bourbon whiskey

(2 tablespoons) Aperol

(2 tablespoons) fresh lemon juice

For the garnish: Lemon peel

Add the bourbon, Aperol, amaro, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice and shake it until cold.

Strain into a cocktail glass. If desired, garnish with a lemon peel.

A delightfully complex, boozy modern cocktail with bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

So good and I love the cute little airplane garnish idea!

I tried this and it was one of the best cocktails I have ever had.

My husband and I made these last night and they were amazing! The Amaro Nonino is pricey but it was worth it for the flavor. This cocktail was the perfect thing to celebrate a special occasion!

This is one of our very favorite cocktails! Special occasions are highlighted by this absolutely fabulous drink. ❤️

The garnish is so cute! Glad to hear you both had a wonderful summer off :)

My favorite cocktail ever, balanced refreshing and such a fun name!

You are my current go-to for cocktail recipes and this is on my must try! 

I'm here from the podcast bc I was totally one of those people who thought you weren't coming back. Thanks for being my fav podcast! The fun y'all have together shines bright and it's always such an enjoyable listen.

This looks so delicious (and what an adorable garnish!) Imagine my delight when, while listening to Office Ladies, they mention this cocktail and when I search for the recipe, it comes up on A Beautiful Mess. What a lovely favorite- podcasts- crossover moment.😊 Can't wait to try this!

This is one of my faves and a good way to use up lemons when you have too many! I like Meyer more than Eureka lemons in a Paper Plane also.
