Paper Plane
A riff on a Last Word (itself a riff on a Corpse Reviver), the Paper Plane is simultaneously bitter, sour and stuffed with the herbal notes of Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif.
¾ oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
¾ oz bourbon
¾ oz amaro
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
Add all ingredients to shaker with ice. Shake and strain into chilled coupe. Garnish with paper plane.
Jez sez:
“That is, in fact, not a tiny paper plane garnish but is simply a gigantic glass.”
Venetian Spritz
Refreshingly cool and bubbly fresh, the bitter orange and sweet wine flavors of a spritz were made for patio season—or any time you need a taste of patio season.
2 oz Leroux® Bitter Orange Apéritif
3 oz Prosecco
Splash of soda water
Orange wedge, optional
Fill a wine glass with ice cubes. Add all ingredients. Garnish with orange wedge and serve.
Jez sez:
“Rumors persist of a spritz so profoundly effervescent that one sip can send the imbiber bubbling to the heavens. Is this that spritz? No one has survived the journey to say.”
