✈️ Scintillating Paper Plane: A Non-Alcoholic Classic with a Sparkle Twist
When it comes to modern classic cocktails, the Paper Plane is a standout: bold, balanced, and beautifully bittersweet. Now imagine taking that refined profile, swapping in the finest non-alcoholic spirits, and finishing it with a dazzling pink sparkle. Enter the Scintillating Paper Plane — a zero-proof cocktail that doesn’t compromise on flavor or flair.
🍸 What Is a Paper Plane?
Traditionally, the Paper Plane cocktail is made with equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and fresh lemon juice. It’s known for its complex balance of herbal bitterness, citrusy brightness, and mellow sweetness. With the rising popularity of non-alcoholic cocktails, it's only natural this iconic drink gets a reboot — with a few glittering upgrades.
✨ The Non-Alcoholic Upgrade
To create a version that captures the soul of the original without the alcohol, we’ve chosen three exceptional alternatives:
Amaro Falso – A bold, bittersweet non-alcoholic aperitivo that mimics the complexity of a traditional amaro.
Spiritless Kentucky 74 – A beautifully spiced bourbon alternative with oak and caramel notes.
NA Aperitivo – Something citrus-forward like Lyre’s Italian Orange or Wilfred’s, offering a vibrant balance of sweet and bitter.
Pink SHAKE – A glitter-infused flavor enhancer that adds a subtle shimmer and a signature SHAKE sparkle.
Together, they form a cocktail that's sophisticated, striking, and 100% alcohol-free.
