Similar to the French 75 Cocktail, the traditional Airmail Cocktail is rum based and uses honey as a sweetener and lime juice instead of lemon. Arguably, the Airmail could also be thought of as a sparkling Daiquiri. In this variation, Charlotte layers on the flavors of both fresh muddled pineapple and The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters.
