Thanks for the heads up! Will try it next flight.

Seems to be quite popular with AS FT'ers.

At 25% ABV (and 8.5g of sugar per mini bottle) it seems more of a liqueur than vodka.

Regardless, it is a good sign to see AS adding/reintroducing more options on board!

I do appreciate AS's attempt to represent the PNW with onboard offerings, such as in this case, a (sort of) made in Oregon product.

Cheers!

Brilliant! I can finally stop complaining about the lack of it on board. Now, I fully expect the rest of you to not drink my share of the supply on my future flights.

How do y'all usually take this? Any creative suggestions? I'm excited to try it on my next flight.

I usually drink those as a double on the rocks. It’s soooo good and I’m looking forward to having them again onboard my next AS flight this Saturday.

Crater Lake HE Vodka + Baileys (or the new Country Cream) on the rocks is quite tasty.

One with ice and fizzy water makes a nice low alcohol coffee soda - better than anything Torani could ever accomplish!

Also a very good combo in coffee! A FA introduced that to me.

How does that all fit? Or do you just cut back on the amount of coffee

On the rocks with cream or if you're up for it, on the rocks with the Five Farms Irish cream.

It cools down the coffee sufficiently to get to a second cup in short order. 😉 On more than one occasion the FA has put on a fresh pot of coffee not once, but twice for me when I was the only one drinking it. Ironically, I never drank a cup of coffee until I turned 50. On a very hot Barcelona summer day, I decided to try a barista made coffee poured over ice at a Dunkin's Coffee. I have been trying to catch up for 50 lost years ever since. lol

I probably had my first iced coffee when my age was in the single digits. And then, an occasional weak Kahlua and cream was a childhood treat. On the other hand, I had my first wine when I was 8 days old

I am sure you were "whining" long before 8 days of age; that there wasn't Hazelnut Esspreso Vodka. Perhaps it should be served chilled, neat, in a frosted glass with Java nuts on the side. And for pure elegance, a twisty straw so as not to prematurely deaden the chill on the glass.

slightly OT, but Aviation gin reappeared on our PAE-SFO last week

while it’s a big step up from Tanqueray, I still miss the Sun Liquor “Hedge Trimmer”
