LaGuardia for the first time for me this year. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

I didn't even realize you could ask for any drink with more than two components without having the FA roll his eyes at you.

Nah I usually end up in Newark, but the train's pretty quick so I don't mind.

The first time I flew J on AC (op up) I tried asking for one of these... the FA made me feel pretty stupid.

Have had white russians...

...on the odd occasion that they had kahlua or tia maria on board.
Before you scoff, it is my hangover drink of choice (I loathe both tomato and clamato juice).
So 2 liquor drinks can be made.

Problem, AC does not have sweet vermouth or bitters, so I would say no. At one time you could make B52 on flights.

There isn't enough in the galley to make really interesting cocktails but I was amused to see this "carry-on cocktail kit" series, for example the Old Fashioned kit: https://www.cocktailemporium.ca/prod...n-cocktail-kit

I don't think it's worth the price, but perhaps it could inspire a solution to the Manhattan problem. Bring your own bitters, vermouth, and cherry. Ask for rye/whisky. Finish the preparation yourself...!
