Original recipe for a Paper Plane cocktail was developed by Aussie bartender Sam Ross in 2007. I owe this man everything!!
- You can double the recipe to make 2 cocktails, but any more than that will likely not fit into a cocktail shaker.
- Make a large batch. For 8 drinks, combine 12oz each bourbon, Aperol, and Amaro Nonino. Keep chilled; shake individual portions with 1½ oz lemon juice and ice, then strain into coupe glasses.
