Preserve the disagreement in Ruhlman's internal PaperPlane attributions and identify which recipe version is cited. No whiskey-only blend or universal optimum is demonstrated.
Little Italy381; Paper Plane394
Parsons attributes the2008 Paper Plane to Sam Ross and reports Ross's change from Campari to Aperol and tests of rye, Scotch, applejack and rum before choosing bourbon. This is originator testimony, stronger than an unattributed summary but not independent archival proof. LittleItaly uses2oz rye,0.75oz sweet vermouth and0.5oz Cynar, matching Saunders's later quoted specification rather than Ruhlman's simplified teaching version.
