Strawberry Paper Plane

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Paper Planes are my favorite cocktail, and it’s about time I finally made you one for the blog! They are supremely easy to make, extra boozy (if you’re into that thing) and sweet but not too sweet. They are like a sharper, tangy strawberry lemonade, and they are the perfect drink for summer.

Here, I mix a classic paper plane with some olive oil marinated strawberries, and I know, I know, you’re probably asking why put olive oil in a cocktail?

And for me, the reasons are multiple, but the two that stand out are it’s delicious, and it’s also really visually appealing. Olive oil (only use the good stuff here! I love Graza for this recipe) is filled with bright, peppery flavor, and it’s a known fact that pepper and strawberries pair wonderfully together. My friend even made a strawberry black pepper nut butter once, and it was divine. But here, the olive oil floats to the top of the cocktail, giving you a rich, earthy, peppery note with every bright, herbaceous, sip of the paper plane cocktail. It’s delicious.

Ingredients in a paper plane

The classic ingredients for a paper plane is equal parts Aperol, Amaro Nonino, lemon juice, and bourbon. Shake and serve over ice, it’s that simple! Here, we flex our cocktail muscles a bit and use the following:

  • 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

How do you make a paper plane?

For this paper plane cocktail, it’s just four simple steps:

  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 🙂

And that’s it for this paper plane cocktail! This post isn’t sponsored, but if you’d give some love to my friends over at Graza, it’s always appreciated.

I hope you make this, and let me know if you enjoy!

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.

    i’ve never had a paper plane but this looks like a cousin to an aperol spritz which i love!! the olive oil addition sounds amazing – is there a non-alcoholic substitute you’d suggest in place of the bourbon?

      Oh that is tricky! I’m not sure, but I’ll research and try some bourbon ABV free brands and will let you know if I find one!

Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craft Over a year after our queen Emily Mariko put Craftsman & Wolves on the radar of everyone outside of SF, it’s finally time for an homage recipe! (mostly because I’ve been craving it for a year tbh…I am very behind)

This isn’t a recreation, but instead a vegetarian (the original has pork sausage), sinlge-serving, almost cheesy-tasting variation. I used cornmeal for a little more substance and density, more spices than I can count (they’re all worth it, I promise), and a 6-minute egg, which when enclosed in the batter, stays jammy even after baking 🥚

The full recipe for this single muffin is on the site, and I hope it might make it into your long weekend somewhere 💚 Happy Saturday everyone

SNACKS + CHEF! Today @ayesha_rare invited me int SNACKS + CHEF! 

Today @ayesha_rare invited me into her kitchen at @shukettenyc, one of my favorite places in NYC (and on the NYTimes top 100 list, NO BIG DEAL). 

If you haven’t been to Shukette, they are famous for their small plates, shareable menu and signature “rip & dip” style. Ayesha shared her famous pita recipe (look for that PUFF) and their smoked Arctic char dip - which, yes, I do pick favorites, and yes, that one is it 😍

I’m by no means a professional, so whenever I get to cook with one it’s the most fun thing in the world. As for the recipes, well, you’ll have to check in with Ayesha for those 😎 

**PS the audio might be less than great, but we were in a professional kitchen! With professionals! I’d sacrifice audio for pita any day 🙏

The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie r The re-done (and much better!) Gideon’s Cookie remake recipe! Part 1 & 2 will be up in my stories - but long story short, I took one of the worst recipes on my blog, and after painful trial and error, turned it into one of my best.

This video is the culmination of about a week of testing of the iconic @gideonsbakehouse cookie, with various flours, bake times, chocolate and ratios thrown in the mix. 

I’m nowhere near a professional baker, just an enthusiast, so the full journey is on TikTok and reshared in my stories, just in case you want to see but don’t have that app! 

Plus the recipe will be linked in bio, after this much work I would never withhold it from you 💚🍪

Olive oil muddled strawberry Paper Plane - and I’m so so excited to say this is #sponsored by my loves over at @getgraza!

You can check my stories for more info about why I love Graza and why you see them in *almost* every video, but when it comes to olive oil, they have one of my favorite systems. You can subscribe to get two bottles, the larger (The Sizzle) made specifically for cooking, and the smaller (The Drizzle) meant for finishing, dipping, swirling, whatever. And idk how to say this and not sound cheesy, but they’re more than just that brand you see everywhere on social media. Their team is great, their process is great, and their level of quality and flavor. is. great. Their product is all single-origin Spanish olive oil, so I can’t vouch for them more 🫡

And if you don’t want to subscribe, they’re now in Whole Foods! As someone who has known the founders from early on, I felt like a proud child.

Ok, I’m getting emotional. But this cocktail itself could not be easier (recipe in video!), and strawberries marinated in Graza’s single origin drizzle add a peppery note that you have to try at least once.

And last but not least, my code!! JUSTINESNACKS for $5 off your first Graza Duo (Sizzle and Drizzle). Buy Graza in my name to avenge me and I’ll love u forever 💚

Ok, oil on my children - and plz make this drink 🍹

What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. What is essentially Pizza Toast, but all-grown-up. Because a singular anchovy makes everything better. (Also my sourdough was just dying to be put to use)

The full recipe is on the blog, done in 15 minutes or less, and just really delicious. Although tbh my younger self would probably still prefer the microwaved version, which tbh I respect. 

And if there are any nostalgic recipes you made that you’d want recreated, let me know, I’m always down for another savory toast 🍕

A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! Gift gi A peanut butter cold brew birthday cake! 

Gift giving is not my love language, I’m more of a words of affirmation girl, so I wanted to make this video (and this cake!) my birthday present 🥹

This is the “Ashley’s Birthday Cake” recipe from @joannebchang’s book, Pastry Love. I used just traditional buttercream recipes for the chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla bean buttercreams. Oreo crumble was added, because you all insisted 😌

Happy Birthday @e_lipk4 💚
