Airmail | Cocktail Party

Airmail

The Airmail, from the 1949 edition of Esquire magazine’s Handbook for Hosts, is essentially a Caribbeanized take on a French 75, with rum and honey syrup taking the place of gin and simple syrup.

Older recipes may call for Champagne in particular, but the Airmail really isn’t that fussy – any sparkling wine will do. We like ours with a barely-sweet Cava.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake everything (except the sparkling wine) with ice, and strain into a tall ice-filled glass. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with a lime twist or wheel.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
