The FA does not know what she is missing. I want the Alaska Lounges to serve this amazing treat. No airline in the world offers it so its my exclusive drink! I am almost guaranteed doubles of it on my flight!

I'm looking forward to a ton of AS travel in the next few weeks, and I used to love this stuff... but I think my tastes have changed and I don't know if I would want something so sweet. I'll be sure to try it again, but I have a feeling I will be sticking with Woodford It is amazing, perhaps even disappointing, how tastes change over time.

Of course this is completely Alaska Airlines' fault for not serving it and not exposing me to it. Thanks a lot!!!!!

Our flight this weekend from SEA-AUS, we emptied the cart of the Crater Lake in the first three rows of Premium Class during the start of drink service. The FA's were astonished at how popular it was.

Will be taking the plunge for the first time tomorrow on BOI-PHX. Not usually a fan of sweet drinks but am open to a new experience.

Anyone dumped a bottle of it into a half cup of coffee?

It’s been almost two years since Alaska last offered it due to the pandemic. Most of the new hires aren’t as knowledgeable about the pre-Covid Alaska with the product offerings.

In fact most of them are astonished to learn about the prayer cards that used to be served with the meals.

Yes, and it's great. That also works if you add Bailey's Five Farms (or whatever they cater now) to the mix as well.

Or Five Farms + Crater Lake + Ice, which is what I will be having on my next AS flight.

Glad you got to experience it.

If you're a coffee drinker, it can be a nice addition. Was on AA last week... they have Armaretto (Or should, my eAAgle flight didn't have any)

Asked on recent Skywest SFO-PHX, and FA had no idea. "All I have is Tito's".

Oh well, went with Woodford instead.

Just getting on board with this thread. My routine first drink is a double five farms and coffee but will replace 1 five farms with the hazelnut vodka (if it’s available)

Now now, I'll enjoy it with ice and fizzy water for a refreshing lower alcohol beverage.
