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.

Neat!
Same, though my favorite variation is replacing Nonino with a herbal amaro like Averna.

I've started drinking a bold whiskey or rye with amaro and skipping the rest. It was cold, rainy and i was searching for something warm and cozy to sip by the fireplace in a hotel bar while i pretend to work. https://www.thespeckledpalate.com/busted-pipe-bourbon-amaro-cocktail/

I'm gonna have to try this, while I enjoy a paper plane it sounds like it would be even better with some extra tartness
