Me too, I’m actually a big fan of the spicy margarita and old fashioned cocktails that on the rocks makes... would love having those as an option!

UA has the Old Fashioned on their premium transcon flights. Some reports of them appearing on non-premium transcons as well. Agree that it would be nice to have those show up on AA as well.

Their Old Fashioned Drinks are tasty as heck but you do need to add another mini of Buffalo Trace on UA (or Woodford on AA/DL) for good measure.

Same with all of their products. They are not bad, but they are all too sweet -- Mai Tai needs an extra rum, Aviation needs an extra gin, and so forth. Once poured over ice with the added mini, it's a nice cocktail.

As I understand it, "the Aviation cocktail by On The Rock [is] just a temporary offering to make sure we have high quality mixed cocktails on these flights until the supply chain for the Mai Tai by On The Rocks has been stabilized."

Those look great. I’ll bring my own shaker and martini glass.

If those are supposed to be Aviations, they're the wrong color.

That was my first reaction when I saw the pic... I think what bothers me the most is that the OTR Aviations I've bought in the past were actually close in color to what they were supposed to be.

My thought as well, from what I've seen the OTR Aviations are usually pink. Makes me wonder how old these were if they've lost their color already.

These were being served on US-Japan flights on both AA and JL pre pandemic. Really enjoyed them.
