Postal Service started using air mail all the way back in 1911. While most believe that the Air Mail first appeared in Esquire’s 1949 Handbook for Hosts, it actually showed up in print eight years earlier in Whitfield’s cocktail guide, which makes sense since the U.S. It makes me feel like I’m lounging on a sandy beach somewhere tropical… which makes perfect sense since it’s made with rum. Whitfield even wrote in his Here’s How cocktail book, “it ought to make you fly high.” After sipping this drink, I can tell you it definitely takes you to new heights. This is a light, bubbly drink that’s perfect for summer vacations on airplanes! W. Now, you may have heard of the new classic, the Paper Plane from 2008, but this lovely little tipple is from the 40’s! And it’s got nothing in common with the new one except that they’re both in the flight category.
Why am I talking about letters and postcards? Because today’s cocktail is the Air Mail. While postcards are awesome, actual letters are even better, especially when it comes wrapped in a cool air mail envelope! There’s something so cool about getting a letter from your favorite person from a far off place. I love sending postcards and letters while I’m away. Now that the world is opening up again, all of us are booking vacations! I mean after being stuck in your house/town for the past 15 months don’t you want to get away? I know I do! It doesn’t matter whether you’re driving or flying, you’ll probably be sending off a post card or two, something I always do when I go on vacation to a far off land.
