History

Personally had this at the infamous Bagatelle in NYC back in the day RIP

Rose Plane

3⁄4 oz Irish whiskey, Jameson
3⁄4 oz Amaro Nonino
3⁄4 oz Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato (This is *not* Ramazzotti Amaro)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
2 dr Salt Solution
1 twst Lemon peel (optional, expressed onto paper plane garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, double-strain into chilled cocktail glass.
Optional paper plane garnish--lemon coin expressed onto it before attaching plane to edge of glass. (He didn't express the peel into the drink itself, but I prefer to.)

Notes

Finally found a paper plane variation that I really like. Generally, I find the original paper plane to be somewhat imbalanced in terms of acidity vs. sweet. This riff substitutes Jameson Irish Whiskey for the bourbon, and Ramazzotti Rosato Aperitivo for the Aperol, while adding two drops of saline. In this cocktail the rosato acts somewhat as elderflower liqueur does, while also filling in for the orange aperitivo.

Ghost Rider

3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
1⁄2 oz Ginger syrup
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1 Candied ginger (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with candied ginger on a pick.

History

I became inspired by the Maraschino, ginger, and lime trio in the Hitman from Dutch Kills and I mashed it up with the Ferrari (Fernet-Campari duo). Previously, I did a similar Ferrari mashup in the Blank Hand Society using the Gilda as the other inspiration point. For a name, I dubbed this one the Ghost Rider after a 1977 song from the synth-punk band Suicide that was a nod to a Marvel Comics character.
