The Airmail cocktail
Good morning everyone! This morning I tried something completely "different". How does a mix of rum and champagne sound like? My thoughts exactly. After this cocktail I've come to the conclusion that either I:
- Used wrong ingredients when creating this
- Don't like the mix of rum and champagne
Either way, I present you the Airmail cocktail. Many sites have different proportions of how much you need of each ingredient. This is what I used:
- 1.5 cl honey syrup (to make honey syrup, use the same amount of honey and hot water, stir until consistent)
- 1.5 cl lemon juice (many imply the use of lime juice)
- 5 cl white rum (many imply the use of rhum agricole)
- champagne, sparkling wine, etc...
Combine the three first ingredients, shake with plenty of ice and strain into a coupe glass. As seen in the picture, I had a cocktail glass. Top off with brut champagne (or sparkling wine, whatever you have in hand at the moment).
Now that I think of it. I have probably fudged things up to begin with. But regarding this cocktail, not much to say. The rum and champagne mix does not quite cut it. This is definitely a cocktail I should either work on more to perfect it...or just ditch it as a bad one. I mean, not every classic cocktail is good just because of its "classiness".
On the positive side...I can drink the rest of the champagne on its own.
I'd have just the champagne as that combination sounds way too strange. Also the look of the drink isn't too inspiring.
VastaaPoistaWell as mentioned, I wasn't sure what to expect from this cocktail either. This is definitely not one of my favorite cocktails (or even close to that) but fair enough, should I ever try and make this again, I'd just "proper" ingredients that time.
PoistaWas quite the experience, though.
