I had a Friday cocktail of an adjusted paper plane:

2oz bourbon

1oz Aperol

1oz Amaro Nonino

1 spoonful Campari

1.75oz lemon (this was too much, the lemon was quite juicy and I wasn’t drinking anything else tonight so put in all the juice of one whole lemon. I’d recommend a generous 1 oz.)

I always think I don’t like Campari, it doesn’t taste good. But a little bit into something already complex can improve it.

    Margs all day.

    I’ve also recently perfected a blood orange Blood and Sand:

    • blended scotch
    • sweet vermouth
    • blood orange juice fresh squeezed (or splash of orange juice)
    • lime juice (omit if using blood orange; include with OJ version)
    • Luxardo Maraschino

    Well shaken over ice, strain into coupe or nick and nora.

        I never measure beyond eyeballing and listening, but it’s about:

        • 1.5 parts scotch
        • 1 part sweet vermouth
        • half part juice (fully blood orange or 50/50 OJ/lime squeeze for the regular version)
        • quarter to half part luxardo maraschino
