This riff on a Paper Plane from Long Road Distillers in Grand Rapids, Michigan, introduces the morning flavors of coffee and orange to that classic cocktail. Here, the rich flavors and aromatics of the Amaro Pazzo stand up well to the distillery’s 93-proof bourbon and 90-proof orange liqueur, for a strong flavor profile and a smooth finish. (This cocktail also appeared here in the May/June 2022 issue of CRAFT SPIRITS magazine.)
