sorry for the confusion, the bloody mary in SQ economy is mixed by the FA's and is alcoholic... while the CX bloody mary in economy is from a can, and most likely non alcoholic..

the difference of Y cocktails of SQ vs their J cocktails, is the cocktails in SQ Y are in a plastic cups vs real cocktail glasses in J.... hmm.. maybe Qantas also beause they give out several premium australian small wine bottles in Y, as well as some premium australian non alcoholic drinks like Bundaberg ginger beer or Appletizer in Y.

but in CX, when flying Y, I only get cocktails mixed from the long bar in the HK lounges, but not inflight.

SQ Y is better than CX Y, honestly, I look forward to the airline food and drinks in SQ Y.. but never in CX Y.

but in long haul J, CX is definitely better than SQ...

that is the reason why op ups are greatly discussed here in this forum and is a premium unpublished benefits for MPC elites... and also why several MPC elites are raising a howl on the instant DM or gold from AMEX platinum as this reduced their upgrade chances by non legitimate CX frequent fliers

CX is lacking in Y vs other premium airlines, but their long haul J is very very good.

So more or less, as a flier of different airlines, I do agree somewhat to the skytrax poll results
