Disappointed isn't even the right word. There was a fairly long period where I would bring minis of spiced rum on board, and at the beginning of the flight, talk to the SD, explain that I hate their rum, but obviously won't consume my own alcohol, and that I could provide them with the minis for them to serve to me. A lot said no, but not all.
Thankfully they fixed that recently, and I was back to being able to get my favorite simple mixed drink on AC. I'm so glad there was a 6 month window in the last 6 years that I was content.
I am very particular about beverages. I need to figure out where I can buy a six-pack airside, at least at SFO, YVR, and YYZ.
I don't believe there is any airside in YVR...at least at the C-Gates. Probably just the absurdly expensive bottles. You might have to trek down to AB to see.
Literally none of us SDs/FAs had asked for this. NONE. We know how much SEs/MMs need their Coke Zero...
FYI:
Coke - Pepsi
Diet Coke - Diet Pepsi
Coke Zero - Pepsi Zero
Sprite - 7-Up
Canada Dry Ginger Ale - Schweppes Ginger Ale
Canada Dry Tonic Water - Schweppes Tonic Water
Canada Dry Club Soda - Schweppes Club Soda
Apparently PepsiCo supplies the Montellier and Miss Vickie's.

It's distributed by PepsiCo in North America...
Again, I definitely won't be able to tell the difference... Sugary drinks is sugary drinks, the sugar overpower any minor variations in flavours.
Are you going to ask
"Is Pepsi okay?"
I always asked if Coke was okay when the Americans asked for Pepsi...so I guess I have to learn to switch now.
