HISTORY:
The Paper Plane was created in 2007 by the team behind former World’s Best Bar, Milk & Honey for the opening of their former colleagues’ new Chicago bar, The Violet Hour.
The drink is a riff on a Last Word which itself is a riff on a Corpse Reviver No.2, each of these cocktails is composed of four ingredients in equal measure-a base spirit, two modifying liqueurs and a citrus juice. The Paper Plane is named after MIA’s 2007 single Paper Planes which was a guilty pleasure of the creators’.
Our version replaces the usual ingredients with non-alcoholic alternatives that have a similar dryness and complexity to the classic liquors making for a non-alcoholic Paper Plane that is strikingly close to the original.
