Take to the skies, all without taking off your shoes and hustling through the TSA line. And it all starts with a modern classic cocktail. The paper plane cocktail is a 2008 baby. That doesn't mean that it isn't time for a remix, though. After you launch into the classic, set your sights on some new ways to explore the sky.
Equal parts cocktails make mixing and measuring super easy - you don't have to remember measurements - just the ingredients. You can splash one or three into a cocktail shaker without having to do any math.
Remember M.I.A.'s "Paper Plane" and how it flooded the airwaves in 2007? That's exactly how this drink got its name.
If you find yourself hunched into a regional jet and weren't able to snag one of those solo seats, this cocktail can give your soul some solace. Make it easy on your jet-lagged self and use equal parts if that makes life easier. Want to kick your garnish to the next level? Consider using a tiny paper plane.
The winglet is that little shark fin on the tip of the wing of the airplane. That is absolutely the official definition. Okay, it's as official as this is the official classic recipe, but life is for having fun.
There's no place more lawless and chaotic than the airport bar. It could be 7 AM or it could be 10 PM - someone is having a drink. It's also the prime spot for people watching while you charge your phone and have yourself a snacktivity.
What's more appropriate for business class than a glass of bubbles?
Take things a little bit lighter. You'd still need to go eight hours from bottle to throttle, but either way, avoid that hangover.
Grab your boarding pass and take off with a paper plane cocktail. Keep it fresh with a riff, and enjoy business class, or take it light and breezy with a spritz. However you approach it, there's no wrong way to take flight.
