Air mail cocktail whisky

A classic cocktail! The Air Mail is a refreshing and elegant drink that's perfect for warm weather or anytime you want a taste of the high life. Here's a recipe for an Air Mail cocktail using whisky:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Whisky (you can use any type of whisky you like, but a lighter, smoother whisky like Glenfiddich or Glenlivet works well)
• 1 oz Fresh grapefruit juice
• 1 oz Honey syrup (1:1 honey and water, dissolved)
• 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz Ginger liqueur (such as Domaine de Canton)
• Splash of soda water
• Ice
• Lime wheel and sprig of rosemary for garnish

Instructions:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add the whisky, grapefruit juice, honey syrup, lime juice, and ginger liqueur to the shaker.
3. Shake vigorously for about 10-12 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
4. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
5. Top the cocktail with a splash of soda water.
6. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of rosemary.

The Air Mail is a beautifully balanced cocktail that combines the smoothness of whisky with the brightness of grapefruit and lime, and the warmth of ginger. The honey syrup adds a touch of sweetness without making the drink too sugary. The soda water helps to cut the richness of the whisky and adds a refreshing fizz to the drink.
