Head to head
Division Bell and Paper Plane side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have Aperol. Only the Division Bell has mezcal, Maraschino liqueur and lime juice; only the Paper Plane has bourbon, Amaro Nonino and lemon juice. In parts, a Division Bell is 2 mezcal, 1½ Aperol, 1 Maraschino and 1½ lime; a Paper Plane is 1 whiskey, 1 Nonino, 1 Aperol and 1 lemon. By volume, the Division Bell is 33% spirit, 25% citrus, 25% fortified wine and bitter and 17% liqueur; the Paper Plane is 50% fortified wine and bitter, 25% spirit and 25% citrus. That makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (13.8% and 14.1% ABV), but the Paper Plane is the bigger drink, so it holds more alcohol (1.54 standard drinks against 1.12). The Paper Plane has more calories (about 197 against 150) and more sugar (10.7 g against 8.9 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
