Cocktails on a domestic flight
 

What alcoholic cocktails can a flight attendant (or you) make from the standard liquors and juices/sodas/etc. on a domestic AA flight? I'm especially interested in things you actually order regularly and enjoy.

Here's my list of regulars, but I'm not terribly creative so I'm sure you guys have thought of things I haven't. ;)

• Jack and ginger (Jack Daniels and ginger ale, my go-to flight drink)
• Woodford and ginger (similar, now that there's Woodford)
• ginger ale and vodka (yeah I like ginger ale)
• rum and coke
• gin and tonic
• bloody mary
• screwdriver (orange juice and vodka)

Here's the list of what you have to work with, under "Beverages": https://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInform...main-cabin.jsp

I've never done anything with the Baileys, Canadian Club White Label, Dewar's White Label, or Amaretto.

It's not liquor, but would a Mimosa count?

An easy one is whiskey and soda.

Cranberry juice and odka

Gin and ginger...surprised you haven't tried that one yet, it's not bad :p

Oh interesting! Do they reliably have champagne?


Ooh another ginger drink. Will definitely try that one.

Long Island Iced Tea, if you bring your own hurricane glass.

I usually partake in one of the following:

Seabreeze - vodka, cranberry juice, and lime
Madras - orange juice, cranberry juice, rum
Gimlet - 3-4 squeezed lime pieces, 1 sugar packet, gin
Lancer - Woodford and champagne
Irish coffee - coffee with Jack Daniels
Bourbon (neat)

:D

Woodford and Coke pair well.

As does Baileys and Coffee.

Cuba libre: rum and Diet Coke with a lime (less calories than regular Coca Cola)

Cement mixer.

LOL those things are brutal. Had an encounter with one of those in college and never hope to again.

There's more sugar than alcohol in this thread :)

--Woodford - on the rocks (to cut the sweetness)
--The Glenlivet - neat
--Dewars - on the rocks (to make it tolerable)
--Titos and club soda

Surprised no one has mentioned these yet:

--Amaretto and Coffee
--Gin and Tonic

Had one for my 21st. Never again.

A 'buck' is any drink made with liquor and ginger ale - one of my favorites is the gin buck. Gin, heavy splash of ginger ale, squeeze of lemon juice. Very refreshing.

I had to look up what a "cement mixer" was. I am not surprised you found it brutal. It's nasty :D If I am having a Baileys then I prefer it as part of a B52 - but I don't think I'd get that on AA.
