Everything You Need to Know About The Paper Plane
While some cocktail recipes date back to the 1800s, the Paper Plane was developed by Sasha Petraske and Sam Ross in the mid-2000s. This contemporary classic was named after the song "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. Its inherent simplicity helped it spread quickly from the midwestern restaurant scene to a staple of modern cocktail bars. It blends American and European spirits and is a mix of bitter and sweet flavors. Its harmonious marriage of bourbon, Aperol, amaro, and fresh lemon juice is well-balanced, sophisticated, bold, and refreshing.
