    Paper Plane #2 Cocktail

    December 23, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

    If you love a whiskey based cocktail, and don't want anything too sweet, this Paper Plane #2 is one you should try.

    Many cocktails are made with the “clear” spirits: vodka, gin and tequila. But lately there has been the creation of some nice tasting drinks with whiskeys, my preference.

    One of my new favorites is the ‘Paper Plane’, created by New York bartender, Sam Ross. The name comes from the song “Paper Planes” by M.I.A., which he was listening to while working on the recipe.

    Paper plane 2 drink in a martini glass with the bottles of liquor behind.

    Aside from being a very flavorful drink, it is easy to remember the recipe since all the portions are of equal measurements.

    Substitution Ideas

    I’m calling my version the Paper Plane #2 since I substituted one of the ingredients, not wanting to run out in the evening for it. Listed will be the original recipe with my substitution noted.

    Ingredients for paper plane #2 cocktail.

    I have also made this drink with rye whiskey with great results and perhaps a Scotch whisky may work as well.

    I think these ingredients invite some creative substitutions for varied flavor profiles. You can sub out Aperol for Campari and fresh lemon for orange juice, just to name a couple ideas.
