Airmail Cocktail
If anything, the name of this cocktail is really cool. But even more, it tastes delicious!
The Airmail Cocktail is great for everyone, though, if there are some grumblers out there wanting something with more oomph to it, you absolutely must try our recipe for a Brown Derby.
This is a great 5 o'clock drink and if you are feeling really ambitious, it could be lovely for brunch too! Similar to a French 75, this twist with rum, honey, and lime, topped with champagne is never a bad idea.
Ingredients
1 1/2 oz gold rum
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz honey syrup (recipe follows)
Ice
Champagne or prosecco
Mint leaves to garnish
Directions
For the honey syrup, bring two parts honey and one part water to a simmer in a small sauce pan until combined. Let cool.
In a cocktail shaker, combine rum, lime juice, honey syrup, and ice.
Shake until chilled.
Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice.
Top with champagne or prosecco.
Garnish with mint leaves.
Makes one drink
Thanksgiving. It is a word that means so much to so many: long days cooking a fantastic feast, followed by the epic tryptophan coma. Often, the very smells catapult one back to the past: the smell of celery and onion cooking in butter, and the moment the sage goes into the pan.
