who doesn't like a good theme?

the Air Mail is a classic cocktail. it involves golden rum, honey, fresh orange juice, fresh lime & is topped with champagne. The count goes a little like this:

  • 1.5 oz golden rum dissolved with 1-2 spoons of runny honey
  • .5 fresh oj
  • .5 fresh lime
  • top with champagne

You could make a honey simple syrup but there is something really fun and farmer's daughter about stirring the honey with the rum for each drink.
To make a honey simple syrup take honey and dilute it with hot water. 3 parts honey to 1 part water.
