- Very good and more accessible and mild than the Paper Airplane with Campari. A better into to amari.
- Had to sub in Gran Classico---excellent!
- Delicious on a summer's days, made with W.L. Weller
- Like a whiskey sour with Donn's mix flavors: grapefruit and cinnamon.
- Better with rye or a slightly better bourbon. Campari over Aperol.
- 6/25/15
- haven't tried yet
- The first drink I've ever found that's actually better with Aperol as opposed to Campari.
- Paper Airplane is better.
- use 1 oz. of ingredients!
- Averna 1cl plus bourbon: Woodford
- Made with ramazotti and Bullitt and was prettygood
- Perfect for modern day whiskey cocktail, bolder with Rye
- Used Woodford Reserve, Antica. Very good. Will have to try with Nonino when I spring for some. Or Ramazotti.
- The best cocktail of the 21st century. Perfection!
- Tasty and quite enjoyable.
- Awesome drink
- Made with Cardamaro
- Delightfully but not overwhelmingly sweet. Also enjoy substituting a local bitter aperitivo (Capitoline Tiber) for the Nonino.
- So very very good. Really my ideal of a cocktail.
- Reduce lemon juice to 1/2 oz

An excellent drink! I've been making this with Rye instead of bourbon - Jim Beam's of late. I also tried a variation using Jim Beam, Amaro Nonino, and (instead of Aperol) an aperitivo I found in Paris when I was (unsuccessfully) looking for a bottle of Select- Poli's "Airone Rosso." It worked very well. (The Italian shopkeeper in Paris told me that Airone Rosso is very similar to Select.) I also sometimes add 1/8 to 1/4 oz Luxardo maraschino liqueur. And I sometimes substitute Ramazotti for the Nonino. There you have it.

A tasty variation I've seen called the Paper Mache subs cachaca and Averna for the bourbon and Nonino.

Been making it lately with Sfumato Rabarbaro in place of the Nonino. Also very tasty.

Had to sub Meletti, and I drink Rye not Bourbon, still loved it. Looking forward to playing around, maybe trying Cardamaro or Grand Poppy next time. Campari would be too overpowering imo especially if using a stronger flavoured Amaro in place of the Nonino. Lots of opportunity to experiment with this one.

Used 1 oz Woodford, 3/4 lime juice, Averna and aperol: Very good. Never tried the original recipe
Tried with Overproof Bourbon

Tried with Overproof Bourbon 129 proof... Much better. Less flat than comon proof Bourbon.
