A little paper airplane won't hurt you, now will it?
LOL, better be careful with these, they are strong and yummy, and taste like one more!
I had this cocktail first at the Amaro Bistro in Bothell, but apparently the Paper Airplane cocktail was invented about 10 years ago by a famous NY bartender, Sam Ross. It's said to "take the math out of mixing"- from the easy 4 equal measures. Kind of a whiskey sour with a wonderful herbal complexity of the amaro.

Makes 1 big martini
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 ounce bourbon or rye whiskey (I used Bullet Rye)
1 ounce Nonino amaro (bittersweet Italian liqueur)
1 ounce Aperol (bitter orange Italian aperitif)
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
As you can see below, I squeezed two meyer lemons and got 2 ounces of juice, therefore, it was easy to add 2 ounces of each of the other ingredients (magic potions) to make a batch for two.
In a shaker filled with ice, add all the ingredients and shake, shake, shake. Strain into martini glasses and enjoy!
Note: On first taste, my hubby said "it's pretty bitter", which is from the two types of amaro. Mixed with the whiskey and lemon juice it is the right amount of sweet, tart and bitter (and booze). On second taste, he said "it's totally fine".
I agree, a paper airplane is totally fine.
