3/4 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Honey Syrup 1:1
1 Egg White
4-5 leaf Mint
Shake once without ice and once with ice, double strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with 5-6 drops of Angostura Bitters.
As the cocktail hour rolled around on Thursday night two weeks prior, I began searching the BarNotes app for a good use of my mint patch. One of the drinks that spoke to me was an Air Mail riff called the Snail Mail created by Aaron Post at Valkyrie in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The concept reminded me of Yvonne's Honey Bee but with mint instead of pear brandy as the accent.
