The Paper Plane, aka THE cocktail of 2025, is just better when it’s made with small-batch spirits. This recipe from Wyoming Whiskey for the quaff that’s growing in popularity uses Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch Bourbon to form a robust but utterly smooth cocktail. There’s also a brightening mix of Aperol, Amaro, and fresh lemon juice, just like your traditional Paper Plane recipe. So, why not shake up this cocktail and decide for yourself: Is the Paper Plane truly the cocktail of 2025?
What Wyoming Whiskey Adds to the Paper Plane
Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch Bourbon is actually the original flagship product from this first legal distillery in Wyoming. It carries notes of vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon for a touch of sweetness overtop of the malty base. It helps to balance out the other essential elements of the Paper Plane Cocktail while still delivering a bold aftertaste. Needless to say, you will notice the elevated difference between using this small-batch spirit compared to the bigger name brands.
