Two clever ways to make cocktails on a plane without annoying the cabin crew
WHILE you can’t turn your your flight journeys into a lively pub drinking session, you could still follow these tips to make the most out of available beverages.
Escape has suggested several tips that can elevate your in-flight drinking experience without even disturbing the cabin crew.
According to the website, you could upgrade your flight drinks with a personal cocktail kit.
Several brands today sell designated cocktail kits that can be customised according to the users’ needs.
And they are precisely pre-measured for inflight restrictions.
If you fancy a Cosmopolitan or Margarita, these carry-on kits come with ready made cocktail mixes along with a rimming salt, spoon, recipe card and a linen coaster.
All you need to do is just ask for tequila or vodka from the crew and you’re set.
Other cocktail mixes such as Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Champagne cocktail and Bloody Mary kit are also for drinkers to buy for flights.
The website suggests that if you are travelling in economy class, you still might have the option to make some good cocktail mixes from the available menu.
For example, you could simply mix red wine with orange juice to get Sangria.
Or order a Gin and mix it with tonic water along with a dash of lime to enjoy a refreshing G&T.
And if you are flying first-class, the website suggests not to go overboard in the premier lounge service while you still wait to board your flight.
According to the outlet, the best booze is saved for the flight journey.
So if you are flying Emirates, the lounge might offer you Moët & Chandon, but would save Dom Pérignon for the flight.
Singapore Airlines similarly has Krug for the flight and lower calibre champagne for the lounge.
