Clocking in at 108 proof, Paranubes Oaxaca Rum is a funky, unaged white spirit rich with banana, guava, lemongrass, lime, baking spice, fresh-cut grass and a touch of slate. It’s robust for sipping, but we like it in the Airmail cocktail. In an ice-filled shaker, combine 1½ ounces rum with ¾ ounce lemon juice and ¾ ounce honey syrup (equal parts honey and water). Shake vigorously, strain into a cocktail glass and top with 1 ounce chilled Champagne.
1-liter: $40. Available at Intoxicology
