Paper Plane have inspired a number of tasty cocktail riffs and Triple Crown is one more in the long line of descendants.

Cocktail recipe is almost completely equal parts, thus I’m reluctant to call a single ingredient as its base, but I guess, bourbon with its oak, caramel and toffee notes would come closest to it. Grapefruit liqueur brings a sweet, floral, zesty dimension to the drink, while the addition of Amaro Montenegro steers the cocktail in a complex, bitter-sweet, herbaceous direction. Finally, a healthy dose of fresh lemon juice, balances the cocktail with the fragrant citrusy tartness, giving the drink a bright and refreshing spark.

Triple Crown is a delicious and easy to make cocktail, a true home bartenders’ friend. I highly recommend giving it a try, it has all the necessary ingredients to be a hit at your next cocktail party.
