Paper Plane is a beloved modern classic, that inspired many riffs and variations. So much so, that I have lost count of how many I have already tried and tasted. Broken Plane is one more delicious take on this amazing drink.
It is an equal parts cocktail with London dry gin being the only true spirit bringing the traditional juniper flavour enriched by the freshness of cucumber. Amaro Nonino adds a complex yet balanced bitter sweet touch full of citrus, stone fruit and herbal notes. A bit of elderflower liqueur expands the flavour profile with gentle addition of sweet floral elderflower aroma, giving the drink a little spirit of summer. Last, but not least, fresh lemon juice balances the cocktail with fragrant citrus tartness cutting through the sweet, bitter and boozy aspects of other ingredients.
All in all, Broken Plane is a very delicious and successful riff, giving the Paper Plane a new and summer like twist.
