Paper Plane Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass (optional)

   Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you build the cocktail.

2. 2

   Add the bourbon, Aperol, amaro (such as Amaro Nonino) and fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.

3. 3

   Fill the shaker with ice until nearly full. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and slightly frosted. This chills and slightly dilutes the drink for balance.

4. 4

   Dump any ice or water from the chilled glass if you used ice water. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice chips and lemon pulp.

5. 5

   Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, then drop it in or rest a wheel on the rim as garnish.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.
