Aug 3-Paper Plane

One of the most well traveled cocktails is that which we are discussing today. The Paper Plane was a cocktail that I originally didn’t think much of since when I first started bartending for my parents, they kind of limited me to their tastes, then as I got older and more mature in the craft, I introduced them to more and more and now I have a bar that rivals most places around me. The reality of that is that since this cocktail had 2 ingredients that they thought they didn’t like, I never got to truly make it. Now however its one of my dad’s favourites. Still can’t get mom into whiskey however.

The Paper Plane was created by Sam Ross. When I first heard that I assumned it would have been for Milk and Honey or Atta Boy. But no, it was for the Violet Hour. Sam Ross first developed the cocktail for the storied Chicago Bar and originally used Campari instead of Aperol. LAter when it was broughtr to Milk and Honey they swapped it and it became synonimous with that bar.
