Paper Plane
Paper Plane is a bright, bittersweet whiskey cocktail with a citrusy edge and a smooth, balanced finish. This riff leans into bolder bitterness for whiskey drinkers—made with Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon, Aperol, fresh lemon juice, and orange bitters, then finished with an expressed orange peel for an aromatic lift.
