French 75

Ah.....the French 75.
In 1991, for approx three months, I was flying TW STL-PHL-STL weekly, in paid F.
On one particular Friday, I ordered a French 75.
The FAs didn't know what it was.

I explained the mixture.
Several other F pax on the L-1011 ordered the same.
(Okay, it was domestic sparkling wine and Tanqueray.)
We took a mx delay leaving PHL.
Before we got too STL the plane was out of gin.

Darlox: Thanks for the memory "jog".
