PAPER PLANE (riff) - it can't possibly be this tasty!?

[@AllegroRubato]

Dang, I love your videos. Straight to the point, unlike so many other cocktail channels that go on and on about nothing in particular. Thanks!

[@dorap6895]

I’m hooked on your videos, that little smile you give when shaking the drinks.......☺️

[@raducpm6972]

He should get an award for the best smile of the century

[@jateri06]

I was just about to comment that, I love it!

[@cosmodash6360]

The smile when you shake - never give up on that signature move. It's so relaxing to watch and easy to learn from your videos.

[@kristinaellis2161]

Pretty sure the smile while he shakes the drink is the only reason I’m binge watching his videos 😍🤤

[@StevetheBartender_]

Interested in reading up a little more about Amaro? Here's a good read, make sure you comment on the blog and let the author know how you found it! bit.ly/guide-to-amaro - BUY THE BACKBAR: bit.ly/buy-a-bottle - PATREON: bit.ly/stb-patreon

[@bsidgwick]

This is the cocktail that got me into cocktails. Still my favourite before dinner with friends.

[@StevetheBartender_]

Really? That’s cool - it’s a great drink! Have you tried it with Campari? Did you try the original recipe with Amaro Nonino? If so, which do you prefer..?

[@bsidgwick]

@@StevetheBartender_ Hey mate, nice to hear from you. I haven't tried it with Campari yet, might give that a go tonight! I generally prefer Aperol over Campari in drinks but keen to try everything at least once! So far I've made it with Montenegro (amazing liquor that one) and Averna. Prefer the Montenegro but pleasantly surprised by the Averna. That's also a great liquor, not so impressive on it's own but comes alive in a cocktail. Nonino is next Amaro on the shopping list (can't wait), I will definitely let you know what I make of it as a comparison.

[@peaceonearth8693]

Steve, you seem very personable. Perfect thing for a bartender.

[@sandduurr]

Hey steve, can you maybe do a video about how you choose substitutes?

[@the-chillian]

My favorite drink. My usual bar sometimes does this in a barrel-aged version, which is also highly tasty.

[@the-chillian]

I speak of them in the present tense, hoping they'll still be in business when all this is over.

[@franzfanz]

I just got a bottle of Montenegro and this is amazing.

[@ScottKorin]

I'm backed up a couple videos, so my first reaction was "um...where's the beard?"

[@nickb7170]

Again a very nice video man keep it going. I will try this cocktail tomorrow with some friends :)

[@franciscogallardo5224]

I try Paper Plane on my New York City vacations on the Death & Co Bar.. when I get home I buy all the ingredients needed, now at home I make my own Paper Planes :)

[@Kamamura2]

So tasty, yay!

[@StevetheBartender_]

Sooooo good... I don't think my reaction properly reflected the tastiness of this drink.

[@vidarvanhel1920]

Another one with Montenegro is the Appennini . Really good!

[@BrickFilmsCinema]

I wonder how it would taste if you swapped the whiskey for a dark rum, and the lemon juice for lime.

[@tonym1012]

I love a Paper Plane! It tastes like Smarties :)

[@davilda369]

Are you thinking on making a top 5/10 christmas/halloween cocktails? By the way, I love your videos, inspired me to try make some on my own and give them out to my friends.

[@Fiery96]

Just try to double Strain folks to avoid lots of little ice shards from ruining the mouth feel/ texture and adding unnecessary dilution to the cocktail. Great drink,great vid 👌

[@StevetheBartender_]

Unless your hawthorn strainer has a fine enough coil of course to stop ice shards...

[@Fiery96]

Steve the Bartender if you got an amazing hawthorn then yes all is gravy !

[@franzfanz]

I might have to give this a go. I've been trying to find Amaro Nonino for a while but can't.

[@propwash6880]

I just made a riff on this. I call it the Paper Panga (for those that don't know, a panga is a boat used by fishermen in the carribean and south america). I used Rye, El Dorado Rum, Campari, lime juice, Symple syrup, and floated a dash of mole biters. I also float a thin full lime slice on top. Feel free to try, let me know if you can do something better with it. Would love to know.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Hmm 🤔 next time I’m in the mood for a paper plane I will try it with Montenegro to compare it to Nonino. I did try with Campari and I did enjoy it, got close to a boulevardier. Honestly both Aperol and Montenegro should be perfect 👌

[@drinkswithdan6776]

Amazing as always. I was curious, how do you decide what is next on the list?

[@StevetheBartender_]

Depends what I’m in the mood to drink 😆

[@Xanatos712]

I prefer it with Amaro Nonino, but that's a tough SOB to come by.

[@myangels5410]

Hey Steve love ur recipes, can I use these recipes for making ice creams. Would it remain stable with milk. And approx how much Ice do u take. Thanks

[@StevetheBartender_]

I'm not sure Ashwat, I haven't made alcoholic ice creams before.. you might want to check out this book: bit.ly/poptails-book

[@StevetheBartender_]

Accidentally bumped send before finishing... I added a link to a book that you might find of interest.

[@boarderking133]

I see that vida mezcal in the back. Love that stuff. I forgot the name of the tequila next to it but I recognize the bottle. How do u like it?

[@vince1000]

love how comfy and cosy this channel is

[@oblivionstrider839]

Hey Steve so while cooking I decide to try and replicate a cold mulled wine with no wine. Try it out! 30ml Aperol 30ml any decent Gin Bar spoon of brown sugar 5-10ml of apple cider vinegar 3 dashes of Angostura bitters Pinch of nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Depending on the gin the vinegar will need to change in volume. Forgot to mention will be shaken into small wine glass, Enjoy!

[@eugenelin4639]

In this video, he seems to convert to never pouring the jigger backhand again!! and then eventually he starts placing it on the (our) right side of the cutting board. I hope this was not because people's comments made him self-conscious ; - ; LOL

[@StevetheBartender_]

Haha, I think I subconsciously changed after a few random comments 🤣

[@pewnedbywats9689]

I dare you not to smile while shaking the cocktail in the next video just so I can see the comment section blow up. Thanks hahahahahahaha

[@StevetheBartender_]

Done.

Steve the Bartender 🙌🙌

[@aleksnords]

Nooo I´m gonna be so pissed. It already messes with me bigtime when the smile is delayed

[@mszoomy]

Something wonky happened with your drink between the time you put the twist in and when you tasted it. The level went down quite a bit, did you spill your drink Steve? Maybe took a few sips? Looks interesting

[@StevetheBartender_]

Haha, can't get anything past you! >_< I had to get rid of a take after taking a teeny sip! ;)
