It was perfect fall weather in New York this week - cool enough for a blanket scarf but warm enough for happy hour on the patio. My favorite.
I wasn't home to assemble any cocktails this week, but Little Park had us covered with their version of the refreshing and festive Airmail. Only fitting since I've been shipped from one spot to another this week. The Airmail is a bit like a Cuban French 75, with rum and lime juice subbing in for gin and lemon. Like most Champagne cocktails, this is an easy one to mix up, so grab some friends and pop a bottle.
THE AIRMAIL
2 ounces gold rum
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Brut sparkling wine (I'm a big fan of Cava for these situations, but Prosecco or Champagne will do just fine)
Mix first three ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into a coupe or flute. Top off with Cava.
¡Salud!
