Suggested Drinks in F?
Well I am happy to work my way through the JW Blue, Champers and Tanqueray 10 but what other drinks/cocktails can you suggest I ask for in F?
What can they mix up? Can they do any good Longs? Louisville Lemonade, Long Vodka etc?
I am just a bit fed up asking for G&T or Champers. Though I will if I really have to

Between champers (maybe a glass of wine, but I like to stick with champagne) and Port, that tends to keep me in alcohol during a flight. Don't like to drink too much alcohol during a flight because of dehydration/headaches (drink water, juice, coffee/tea the rest of the time).
Would be good if they could rustle up a Mojito though...

It always seems to be listed under champagne cocktails in Club World.

I was on holiday in the Caribbean earlier this year and ordered a Mojito - what I got was basically rum and 7 UP.
The barman insisted that was a Mojito - we debated for a while then involved the manager of the hotel - at which point the manager dispatched someone to the kitchens to get some fresh mint......................

You could try asking for "A Long Comfortable Screw Up Against The Wall" and see if they can do that? 
Then again with all the air rage incidents recently maybe not. They might prove game and suggest a Long Walk off a Short Pier instead!
Seriously not being much of a drinker myself I can't offer much in the way of practical advice but on my trip to Poland, Mojito was a very popular drink of my friends, in more than one bar we visited. Unsure if they could rustle that up in F. You could ask for a whiskey sour which I'm told is nice.

Reminds me of being delighted to find a bar that served Mojitos on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship last year... delighted until I tasted it, that was! Went from saying "you HAVE to try this drink!!!" to my husband, to profusely apologising "they are honestly SOOOO much better than this when done properly!!!".

I quite like a QUICK .... from time to time... Or similar is Baileys on top of creme de menthe... Mmmm.
First person to say I'm a girl's blouse gets a serious pout in the face. OK!

I've asked the crew on my usual JER-LGW flights, but so far to no avail.
I also recently asked some EK crew, but got a very strange look back.

How about a nice glass of the fetid water drained off a bunch of WT breakfasts, shaken (not stirred) with some Eau Grapefruit facial spray for that extra kick? This could be BA's rival to CX's Pacific Sunrise (which i've quite taken to making at home recently!)
