June 14-Air Mail

This cocktail was descriobed as a potent one despite it being less than 1 standard drink. Granted it is from the 40s, so they might not have had as strong drinks. It is said that this cocktail got its name from it being the quickest way to get properly sozzled since airmail was the quickest way to get a letter from A to B. This cocktail is essentially a honey daiquiri diluted with prosecco. Not really diluted with alcohol percent, but definitely dilutes the flavour.

I don’t think the prosecco adds much, even though I usually like cocktails with prosecco as I like the effervescence and flavour it gives, but here I found it to be purely a diluter. This is a shame as I like the cocktail without it and I think if it was just scaled up, this could be incredible.
