Strawberry Paper Plane

It is no secret that I'm a big paper plane girl, and this olive oil marinated strawberry paper plane is exact proof of how good this simple cocktail can be. The cocktail itself already has many notes of strawberry, but when you add some muddled strawberry to the mix, it becomes one of my favorite drinks of summer.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings: 1 serving

Equipment

  • 1 cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • 2 small strawberries
  • 2 teaspoons high quality olive oil
  • 1 ounce Aperol
  • 1 ounce Amaro Nonino
  • 1 ounce bourbon of choice
  • 1 ounce lemon juice

Instructions 

  1. In a bowl, muddle the strawberries and olive oil together. Let this sit for 5 minutes to let the strawberries release their natural juices.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, add the aperol, amaro, bourbon and lemon juice. Fill up with ice and shake for 30 seconds.
  3. To a lowball glass, add the strawberries and a large ice cube. Pour the drink over top and drizzle with any remaining strawberry & olive oil left in the bowl.
  4. Enjoy ice cold, preferably on a hot day :)
