Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Recently, a guest came into work and asked for a Paper Plane, and we began talking about ways to make the drink if Amaro Nonino is unavailable. After I mentioned that I have seen Averna and Montenegro used as substitutes, he declared that Cynar was surprisingly good as a fill-in; therefore, two weeks ago I riffed on it with Scotch at home. Cynar and Aperol are a duo that I have enjoyed in a variety of drinks like the Juan Bautista, Mad Max and Rucola Negroni, so I figured that it would turn out decent. I originally tried as an equal parts number and perhaps it would have worked better with a robust and smoky single malt, but with a blend, I found better success being spirit forward here. For a name, I dubbed this one after a 1960s performance space headed by Andy Warhol that I learned about in the St. Marks Is Dead book.
