Cocktail Flavor Camps

The inspiration behind this cocktail, as explained by bartender Kalisha Glover, in Vancouver, BC, “A string of bars in Sydney sling whisky and fresh apple juices as their signature special. My love for this combination of flavours inspired me to create this tangy, fresh Paper Plane twist.“
