On one hand, it's great that airlines are getting into cocktails. On the other hand, there's not a lot to work with when you're limited to the selection of liquids already on the cart.
This month both Delta and United announced their new cocktails.
Delta [via jaunted via Forest]:
Bourbon Breeze (Woodford Reserve Small Batch Bourbon/Cranberry & Apple Juice/Splash Orange Juice/Lime Wedge Garnish)
United [via MarketWatch]:
United Airlines is offering customers, beginning today, a refreshing new signature cocktail, Sunrise Sunset, on all United flights that offer beverage service. The sweet and tangy cocktail, developed by United flight attendant Tita Martin, is a mix of cranberry apple juice, a splash of orange juice, a squeeze of lime and vodka.
So:
- These are the exact same drink with a different base spirit.
- They're both just variations of a Madras.
Nice work?
