TATL: Chaudfontaine at start and during the whole flight.
Depending of what Delta serves me a red wine or Champagne during meal time. After that a Port with my cheese & fruit plate please.
Woodford at settling in and after meal service during the rest of the flight until supply lasts (most of the time i try to bring some pure chocolade with me, love it together with a Bourbon or whiskey)
USA: Dasani water, Cranberry/apple with ice or a Woodford.
Proost!

Woodford for just a drink.
In international J, I will switch to wine if there is something good on the list. If nothing good from the still wines, the Jacquart is okay for sparkling and I will sometimes have a glass or two. Other times, I will simply stick with Woodford.
I would note that, contrary to what others sometime seem to think, DL's wine choices are usually decent enough for business class wine. Most of it isn't stuff I normally drink, and some of it dips into the supermarket category, but that is what business class wine is on pretty much every carrier. DL rarely insults you with the wine list (though Gosford Shiraz comes close, and they usually have one pretty cheap white on offer).

I actually really like the Margarita! I have that on the ground in the afternoons and wine once in the air. Bloody Marys in the morning, but not too many as there is so much sodium in that mix!

Usually Woodford on domestic. Yesterday on AF CDG-LAX it was:
Champagne for the PDB. G&T's for my thirst quencher, red wine with lunch followed by port then Cognac. Back to G&T's for the remainder of the trip.

Loved those Medallion Signature Cocktails pushed last year, especially the Platinum Takeoff (1 part Woodford, 3 parts cran-apple juice, Splash of club soda over ice). 'Twas always difficult to find a Delta Mixologist familiar with it when ordering by name and I'd just end up looking silly ("yeah I'd like that thing you've never heard about"). I started carrying the recipe on my notepad, then it just seemed to become a hassle to order.
Now I'll just do a Woodford on heavy rocks.
