Avion de Papel
A riff on Sam Ross' Paper Plane this makes for a delicious aperitivo. I like to add 2 drops saline solution

One of the better Paper Plane (and ultimately Last Word) riffs. I made it with Montenegro instead of Meletti, and really enjoyed how the Aperol and Amaro support and enhance the vegetal notes from the tequila. A lovely drink.

Love this. Tried one with Select instead of Aperol and result had an almost pomegranate feel. Delish!

Great aperitif. Nicely balanced between sour and sweet. The sweetness will depend on your lemons and bitters. Wonder colour.

The Meletti is quite sweet so I like to take it down a 1/4oz and bump the tequila up a 1/4oz... Incredible Paper Plane riff!

I didn't have any Meletti, so I used half and half Cynar and Tuaca for that part. It was quite nice, well balanced bitterness, tequila funk, and citrus tang.
