The Paper Plane cocktail is an IBA official cocktail. Developed around 2007 by Sasha Petraske and Sam Ross of Milk & Honey for their former colleague Toby Maloney’s Chicago bar The Violet Hour, the recipe is a riff on the classic Last Word. The cocktail consists of equal parts Bourbon Whiskey, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice. The cocktail’s name is a reference to the M.I.A. track “Paper Planes,” which was apparently a guilty pleasure of Petraske’s.
