Mezcal Paper Plane

Mezcal Paper Plane is a sophisticated, bittersweet cocktail that replaces the traditional bourbon base with the layered complexity of Agua Mágica Mezcal. Built on a strict blueprint of equal parts, it shakes up 0.75 oz of the smoky mezcal, 0.75 oz of vibrant Amaro Nonino, 0.75 oz of bitter Aperol, and 0.75 oz of fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Vigorously shaken with ice to achieve a sharp, frosty chill, the mixture is fine-strained cleanly into a stemmed coupe glass. This beautifully balanced, sunset-hued drink is classically served neat with no garnish, letting its complex botanical flavors speak for themselves.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Agua Mágica Mezcal

• 1 oz Aperol

• 1 oz Amaro Nonino

• 1 oz Fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

• Combine: Add the Agua Mágica Mezcal, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice into a cocktail shaker.

• Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.

• Strain: Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass before serving.
