Paper Plane Cocktail (Take Two)
The Paper Plane cocktail was originally too bitter and lacked booziness. The final version includes extra bourbon, high-proof for a better taste, and reduced Amaro and Aperol to minimize bitterness. The double straining improved the texture. The ingredients are 2.5 oz high proof bourbon, 0.75 oz Amaro, 0.75 oz Aperol, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, and a lemon twist for garnish.

Brandy Crusta Cocktail
I’ve been deeply into classic New Orleans cocktails, especially the Sazerac, Vieux Carré, A La Louisiane, and Creole. Here I’ve made a modified Brandy Crusta using Armagnac, Grand Marnier, and ginger simple syrup instead of the original ingredients. This adjustment gave the drink a spicier kick and less sweetness.
