I agree that "a drink" means "one drink", but it certainly doesn't say it has to be 1 bottle - as they offer cocktails in the Sky Bistro menu, I have never had a problem getting one Sisu, despite usually receiving it in a Do It Yourself way, so in fact having an opportunity to enjoy one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic drink (if I wanted...). I think I've only been offered an extra serving in a maximum of 3 times, and that happened in autumn 2016. So far the whole 2017 has been a strict one serving year (and well, last 3 months were dry due to waiting for getting back to Emerald, but that's another story).
