The kitchen airmail cocktail

The Kitchen Airmail! That's a unique and intriguing cocktail name. After some research, I found that the Kitchen Airmail is a modern cocktail created by bartender and mixologist, Alex Ross, in 2019. It's a refreshing and citrusy drink that combines the flavors of gin, grapefruit, and honey.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) gin
• 1 oz (30 ml) grapefruit juice
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) honey syrup (1:1 honey and water, dissolved)
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) lemon juice
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) ginger liqueur (such as Domaine de Canton)
• Ice
• Grapefruit twist or wheel, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add the gin, grapefruit juice, honey syrup, lemon 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. Garnish with a grapefruit twist or wheel.

The name "Kitchen Airmail" is likely inspired by the idea of sending a package or letter through the air, much like how the flavors in this cocktail are transported from the glass to your taste buds. The combination of citrusy grapefruit, sweet honey, and spicy ginger creates a delightful and refreshing taste experience.
