History / 背景

The Paper Plane was created in 2007 by bartender Sam Ross at the legendary Milk & Honey bar in New York City. Ross was inspired by the M.I.A. song "Paper Planes" and sought to create a modern equal-parts cocktail in the tradition of the classic Last Word. The stroke of genius was incorporating Amaro Nonino Quintessentia — a refined Italian amaro — alongside Aperol and bourbon, balanced with fresh lemon juice. The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail that is simultaneously bitter, sweet, sour, and boozy without being overwhelming in any direction. The Paper Plane has since become a modern classic, cementing Sam Ross's reputation and introducing many drinkers to the world of amari.

纸飞机由调酒师 Sam Ross 于 2007 年在纽约传奇酒吧 Milk & Honey 创作。Ross 的灵感来源于 M.I.A. 的歌曲《Paper Planes》，他希望沿袭经典酒款"最后一言"（Last Word）的传统，创作一款现代等比例鸡尾酒。其神来之笔在于将 Amaro Nonino Quintessentia——一款精致的意大利苦味利口酒——与 Aperol 和波本威士忌搭配，再以鲜榨柠檬汁平衡。最终成品是一款平衡精妙的鸡尾酒，同时兼具苦、甜、酸和酒感，却不会在任何方向上过于突出。纸飞机此后成为一款现代经典，巩固了 Sam Ross 的声誉，也让许多饮者由此踏入了意大利苦味利口酒（Amari）的世界。

Pro Tips / 专业小贴士

  • Equal parts is the key — The beauty of this cocktail is its perfect balance. Resist the temptation to adjust ratios until you've tried it as written. 等比例是关键 —— 这款鸡尾酒的精妙之处在于完美的平衡。在按原方尝试之前，请抵住调整比例的诱惑。

  • Amaro Nonino is specific — While other amari can work, Amaro Nonino Quintessentia's delicate grape-based character with notes of saffron and orange peel is what makes this cocktail sing. Generic "amaro" substitutions will yield a different drink. 诺尼诺苦味利口酒是特定选择 —— 虽然其他苦味利口酒也能使用，但 Amaro Nonino Quintessentia 以葡萄为基底、带有藏红花和橙皮风味的细腻特质，才是这款鸡尾酒的灵魂。使用普通"苦味酒"替代会得到截然不同的饮品。

  • Fresh lemon juice only — Bottled lemon juice has a flat, oxidized taste. Always squeeze fresh. 只用鲜榨柠檬汁 —— 瓶装柠檬汁味道平淡且氧化。务必使用现榨。

  • Bourbon selection — A mid-proof, not too oaky bourbon works best (e.g., Buffalo Trace, Four Roses). Avoid high-proof barrel-strength bourbons that can overpower the delicate balance. 波本选择 —— 中等酒精度、橡木味不过重的波本效果最佳（如 Buffalo Trace、Four Roses）。避免使用高度数桶强波本，以免破坏精妙的平衡。
