Paper Plane is a remarkably versatile cocktail template. I have lost the count of its riffs I have tasted; they just seem to keep finding a way into my “To Try” list and there are no signs of slowing down. Lost Plane is a rum laden Paper Plane riff utilizing the bold Gosling’s Black Seal rum.
One and only true spirit of the cocktail is dark rum with notes of molasses, caramel, vanilla and subtle oak. Aperol brings bitter-sweet orange flavour to the mix lightening the rich rum, while amaro Montenegro further increases complexity with a blend of citrus, herbal and floral tones. Last, but not least, fresh lemon juice freshens up the flavour profile with an addition of fragrant citrus tartness.
Lost Plane is a delightfully rich and complex cocktail full of new notes to be discovered with every sip. A great cocktail for seasoned cocktail lover or novices alike.
