The Glenlivet 12-Year-Old Paper Plane

The origins of the Paper Plane date back to 2008, when it was invented by NYC bartender Sam Ross. It’s might not be a long history, but it’s since become a staple on many cocktail menus. Combining herbal liqueur, Aperol and whisky with a squeeze of fresh lemon, this Paper Plane is a bittersweet cocktail you’ll enjoy again and again.

25 ml The Glenlivet 12 Year Old
25 ml Aperol
25 ml Amaro
25 ml Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

Garnishes:

The Paper Plane cocktail is traditionally garnished with a orange peel twist to accentuate the fresh citrus flavours. Plus an optional sugar rim for sweetness. But we also love a literal garnish. Fold edible rice paper into a small plane to float atop your drink, or peg a non-edible alternative to the side for a fun nod to the name. You could even write a secret message to the recipient.
