Named after the 1940s mailing system between Cuba and Miami, the newly opened Airmail, located in the new Alton Food Hall, invites guests to enjoy its full-service cocktail bar and its soon-to-launch cocktail delivery service. Inspired by European food halls serving cocktails, Airmail offers both classic and original cocktails.

Head mixologist and general manager Sofia Present brings a decade of craft cocktail experience from New York City to Airmail, creating delicious concoctions. One of the most iconic cocktails served, aptly named Airmail, consists of Havana Club Dark Anejo, fresh lime, honey syrup and prosecco, served with a hot pink paper plane.
Other current menu highlights at Airmail include the Cobbler Punch (amontillado sherry, PX sherry, pineapple, fresh grapefruit, cane sugar, maraschino liqueur and prosecco), Frose (Lo-Fi vermouth, Havana Club Dark Anejo, fresh strawberry, melon and lemon) and The Monk’s Sazerac (Wild Turkey Rye 101, Benedictine, green chartreuse, honey and Peychaud’s).

This month, Airmail will soon offer delivery of five of its most popular drinks. Continuing the mail service theme, each to-go order serves two, starting at $24. Launching with UberEATS, Airmail plans to expand to other platforms in the near future. The inaugural menu includes Black Sails (Ron Zacapa 23, Cocchi di Torino, Montenegro, demerara and burlesque bitters), Ginger Pear Highball (Fistful of Bourbon, pear, fresh lemon, ginger syrup, Raegan’s orange bitters and Topo Chico) and Jungle Bird (Havana Club Dark Anejo, Black Strap rum, Campari, pineapple and fresh lime juice).
The original mailing service in the 1940s sent mail with a postage stamp, and Airmail continues this tradition by also giving all guests a free postcard that can be mailed anywhere in the United States.
