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.
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.

- 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)

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)

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

I had to look up what a "cement mixer" was. I am not surprised you found it brutal. It's nasty 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.
