The Cutter

paper plane cocktail recipe

When Ticonderoga Club guests request a Paper Plane, bartender Alec Bales serves The Cutter, his take on the recipe that swaps house-made Campari for Aperol and house Amer Picon for Nonino, albeit in slightly modified proportions (he suggests off-the-shelf Campari and Amaro CioCiaro if making the recipe at home).
