An aperitif before tostadas of black beans and leftover steak, onions, cheese and homegrown lettuce. I really like Paper Plane in theory but in practice it’s way too sweet and slightly too muted for my palate. This is my favorite variation - twice the bourbon, splash of Campari, little more lemon than the original. So, not so sweet and just a little more tart, bitter, and boozy.

2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond

1oz Aperol

1oz Amaro Nonino

1.25oz lemon

Splash of Campari (about 2 teaspoons, maybe less, I think of it as adjusting the Aperol)

Shake shake shake. Half into this coupe, half into the freezer for after dinner.
