Go Ahead Ted was not responsible for *ALL* of the loop-holish, ignernt 
tricks like that ... just most of them. I think that particular one may 
have not been his. One of the few. 

Unless, of course, he was having a vacation retreat built for him "off 
the books" in some remote location.   Bv)=

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Air Mail Cocktail
 Categories: Five, Beverage, Booze, Wine, Citrus
      Yield: 1 shooter

      2 oz Golden rum
    1/2 oz Lime juice
      1 ts Honey
      5 oz Brut champagne

  Mix thoroughly with cracked ice in a chilled cocktail
  shaker, then pour unstrained into Collins glass. Fill with
  champagne. (We recommend using Puerto Rican rum.)

  As to the precise origins of this potent little almagoozlum
  -- a cross between the French 75 and the Honey Bee -- we
  cannot say. It simply turns up, as if by spontaneous
  generation, in our 1949 Handbook for Hosts. The name, at
  least, isn't much of a riddle: Way back when, airmail was
  the last word in getting something from point A to point B.
  And in fact, this one'll do just that to you, but quick. So
  quick that, if we were inclined to take such liberties, we'd
  rename it the "Email."

  Of course, traditional mixology holds that you can't monkey
  with the name without changing the drink. So just replace
  the honey with superfine sugar and the rum with cachaça --
  the hot tropical hooch of the '00s -- and "you've got mail."
  Which we'd better not hear you say as you pour 'em.
