Paper Plane Cocktail
This weekend I finally got my hands on a bottle of Amaro Nonino. My good friend and connoisseur of both Spanish wine and cocktails has been sending over cocktail recipes for upwards of a year all of which feature this magical ingredient which had not yet made its way to the mixer shelf. Amaro is an Italian bitter not unlike Campari, Aperol, or Fernet Branca. This cocktail has quickly become a favorite this summer after we ODed on Aperol Spritz’s early on thanks to my beautiful nephew and niece-in-law. The paper plane would be all too sweet if it weren’t for the bitterness added by, well, the bitters. As it stands, it’s a fresh, zesty, lemony, foamy, beautiful cocktail that will rival your summertime cosmo or G&T any day of the week. It is definitely here to stay.
