A modern classic created by Sam Ross in 2008, the Paper Airplane balances bitter Italian amari against bright citrus and the warmth of bourbon. The Amaro Nonino contributes honeyed, botanical sweetness that tempers Campari's sharp bitterness, while fresh lemon juice cuts through with clean acidity. The result is a sophisticated, bittersweet sipper with a dry, lingering finish.
