    Developed around 2009 by Sasha Petraske and Sam Ross of Milk and Honey. The recipe is riff on the -Last Word- (A classic equal parts gin cocktail), the drink consists of equal parts Bourbon Whiskey, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice. The cocktail's name is a reference to the M.I.A. track "Paper Planes", wich was the soundtrack for the creation of the drink.

    Paper plane is a really beautiful aperitivo cocktail, that matches sweet, sour and bitter flavors in a really refreshing and fancy way.

    As mundane as it may seem, there are many factors that make the Martini the most famous and renowned cocktail in the world.

    When the United States Prohibition was repealed, the newly elected President Franklin Delano Roosevelt prepared a dry Martini at the White House. A few years later, at the Tehran Conference in 1943, Roosevelt himself prepared a Martini for Stalin. The most famous and well-known in popular culture is James Bond's iconic Martini, which is ordered or received by the secret agent 007 in every movie.

PROHIBITION GEMS

PROHIBITION GEMS -

Classic cocktails served during the alcohol prohibition in USA, where Jazz and Cocktails were like bread and butter

DRINKS / BEATS

    • 5 cl Bourbon Whiskey

      Garnish: Orange peel

    Like most classic cocktails, the exact origin of the "Bourbon Highball" is unclear. However, what we know for sure is that bartenders served thousands of Bourbon Highballs during the alcohol prohibition in the USA, a time when jazz was born in states like New Orleans and Louisiana. Drinking a Bourbon Highball in a hidden bar with a jazz band playing in the background was a common occurrence.

    The Bourbon Highball is one of the easiest classic cocktails to make and, in my opinion, one of the most refreshing drinks a person can order at a bar. It's actually easier to make a good Bourbon Highball than a bad one.

INSEL-BAP

MESS’s debut EP “Insel-Bap” transcends cultural boundaries and can be enjoyed by anyone. Consisting of 9 tracks, MESS brings an array of Lo-Fi and Boom-Bap beats inspired by sounds from the Caribbean, jazz, and soul genres.

Staying true to his Venezuelan roots, the artist produced a Boom Bap-Lo Bap beat tape with a Caribbean influence using vinyl from his varied collection. MESS also took inspiration from the movie “Cast Away” and the video game “Earthbound” to create the visual art for the album.

The EP released in January of 2022, launched the beatmakers’ music profile on streaming platforms. MESS reached 1,000 listeners in 67 countries on Spotify and gained over 500 subscribers on YouTube
