That&#8217;s one of my go-to cocktails and I was both excited to get out in the neighborhood and compare mine to their&#8217;s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Paper Plane is a relatively recent cocktail and doesn&#8217;t leave a lot of room for interpretation so far. I was able to determine as we ordered that they they preserved the 1:1:1:1 ratio. The Aperol, and fresh lemon juice are totally non-optional. The Amaro is supposed to be Amaro Nonino. Some places change it up (probably because Nonino is one of the more expensive amaros), but I pretty much always suffers when you change the Amaro. The last ingredient is bourbon. This is the main place for improvisation (or cost savings). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We brought home the Bodega paper plane and I made one of my own with Elijah Craig bourbon (though Bulleit probably would have been a more fair comparison). We had a side by side tasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bodega paper plane was very good. There was a piece of orange peel in the bottle, a nice touch, and it definitely used the Nonino. It had a nice citrus tone, but there was a bite to the bourbon (we think maybe the bourbon was Jim Beam, I&#8217;ll ask next time). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well worth a visit and I would recommend, though we preferred my mix. It is easier to use the best ingredients at home and tougher when you have to make a living off your cocktails. Any drink that is so focussed on spirits over mix is always going to be better with better spirits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_20200522_2055326-scaled.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pretty excited that Old Town Bodega near us was doing take-away Paper Planes.
