KEEP IT CHILLED
Chill your coupe glass in the
freezer for at least 30 minutes to
keep the drink crisp and achieve
the right aesthetic.

SWAP THE BITTER
Finding the Paper Plane too sweet
for your taste? Swap out
Aperol®
for Campari® to achieve a more
bitter cocktail.

SHAKE IT UP
The key to a great Paper Plane is
the froth. Be sure to shake
this
cocktail vigorously to achieve its
signature foam finish.

POUR IT SLOW
After shaking vigorously, strain the
cocktail through a single Hawthorne
strainer and pour slowly to keep the
ice shards out of the glass.

ADD A GARNISH
For Ross, the frothy finish is
enough, but you can always level
up
by garnishing with a lemon
peel or a mini paper plane.

SWAP THE AMARO
Although there’s no true substitute for
Amaro Nonino® in a proper Paper
Plane,
Amaro Montenegro® provides similar
flavor qualities at a more
available and
affordable price point.
