Description:
The Paper Plane was created by Sam Ross in the 2000s. It is a modern equal-parts formula that quickly became a bar classic thanks to its clear bitter-sour-sweet balance. The cocktail is vivid, citrusy, and bitter-sweet. Bourbon adds a warm base, while amaro and aperitif bring complexity without heaviness.
