I had a Friday cocktail of an adjusted paper plane:

2oz bourbon

1oz Aperol

1oz Amaro Nonino

1 spoonful Campari

1.75oz lemon (this was too much, the lemon was quite juicy and I wasn’t drinking anything else tonight so put in all the juice of one whole lemon. I’d recommend a generous 1 oz.)

I always think I don’t like Campari, it doesn’t taste good. But a little bit into something already complex can improve it.

    I never measure beyond eyeballing and listening, but it’s about:

    • 1.5 parts scotch
    • 1 part sweet vermouth
    • half part juice (fully blood orange or 50/50 OJ/lime squeeze for the regular version)
    • quarter to half part luxardo maraschino
