What I don't get is DL spent a lot of time and money with OTG to streamline the menus and order proces for quick service in MSP and JFK gates. It would be nice to be able to have a streamlined drink menu that the FAs are comfortable making for F/J. Punch it up on the DL app or the GoGo page.
Totally agree. They also often advertise F/D1 with a picture of a martini glass, but you really can't order a martini--I don't think they even have shakers. There are several drinks served shaken and up that are VERY simple to make if they just had a shaker:
-Dirty martini
-Vodka/Gin martini with a twist
-Cosmopolitan (throw some vodka, cranberry juice & cointrau in and shake)
-Negroni (Gin, vermouth, campari).
The list continues.
