Outbound to STL they announced that this month mainland flights will be catered with (some) Hawaiian offerings -- I enjoyed two Longboards (First Class FA had to get them from the back). No announcement at all on the return, but I didn't ask as I was on a whiskey roll instead.
Perhaps the title of this thread should be changed to "Cosmopolitan & Glacerita have been evicted"

I just found out last week that these were discontinued. I actually liked the Glacerita (my favorite AS drink since Jones Cream Soda). The FA I asked last week said I was only the second passenger to ever request one of these from her.
The Cosmo is slighty less of a loss considering you can still make an approximate version mixing cranberry juice, vodka, and lime.

What happened to Mac's in cans on Alaska? I never saw them.

There also does not remain a single sweet non-dairy after-dinner drink. I hope the November wine selections are improved. Otherwise, it will be "Chardonnay and Tums, a winning combination" halfway over the Pacific.

On my most recent flight, the FA was encouraging folks to drink up the red with: "They plant a tree for every bottle sold!"

)Unfortunately, without reciprocal upgrades, I have not been able to take advantage of this area of DL's superiority...
(And no, I'm NOT willing to spend $6 for a mini to have it in Y.)

One thing I love about Woodford is that the mini comes in glass, not plastic... I have one here with me at home
BTW, thanks Jackal for moving my post to a more appropriate thread.
Anyhow, after discovering that they do not serve both drinks anymore, I stuck with Crown Royal.
