Air Mail

Today we went to drop off my clothes in preparation for my return to work and discovered that our dry cleaner is closing. When we came back, Teresa cleaned out our closet. Days at our house are so exciting!

I took the excitement to the next level when I used a bottle of bubbles we opened to celebrate Teresa's new job to make an Air Mail. I was skeptical that the honey would incorporate bit it did. Nonetheless, the drink was a little sour. Additionally, rum just doesn't work with sparkling as well as cognac or a gin with some floral notes like Hendricks.

My Air Mail was fine but if you have sparking wine and want to make a cocktail, I'd recommend a French 75 with either cognac or gin.

Air Mail

• 2 ounces dark rum
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
