No More Ginger Ale/Tomato Juice
 

On DL from IAH/ATL/BOS in F on 11/7, and found out about the latest feature of in cabin service; no Ginger Ale/Tomato Juice effective 11/5! Were these two items not that popular, or did DL need more storage space for the higher priced 'signature cocktails"?

There were quite a few other drinks that are no longer being offered.:(

Does anyone here actually drink those "signature cocktails"?

Tried a mojito once... tasted like they had used the whole mint plant... including the roots and the mud.

I tried the "dirty" martini once.......and once was enough....more than enough....(ick).

I had a mojito awhile back, it was actually pretty good. I kind of would like to try the Manhatten.

But, according to the FA who made both the mojito, and a different FA who made the martini, the "signature" cocktails are concentrate they cut with a mixer (usually water). This is why they can have such an unusual taste.

Why no tomato juice? Is the Bloody Mary just not popular any more?

Outrageous. The Bloody Mary is a tradition with me. I hope they are just stocking Bloddy Mary mix and not eliminating the Bloody Mary altogether...that would really srew up my routine.

Bloody Mary's are made with Mr.&Mrs T's Bloody Mary mix...and not with tomato juice (thank God). The regular tomato juice was pretty nasty I thought.

As a drinker of Ginger Ale this is :td: for me. I even tried to buy some airside last week. I couldn't find a store in TPA or ATL that carried it.

I read on another forum that sprite and a splash of coke created a substitute for ginger ale. Maybe the placebo effect with the ginger color, but whatever gets you through the night. Tried it with a shot of Woodford Reserve, seems to do the trick.

I get the Margarita all the time. I don't always feel in the mood for the beers they offer on board and I'm not a wine or straight up liquor drinker.

That doesn’t sound very good...

I was on a Nov. 4 flight and they did not have tomato juice. The remaining juices they serve have so much sugar. Considering the lack of food in first class, and tomato juice and peanuts were often the only nutritious items on the plane.

Have you seen the V-8 commercial where someone orders or is eating junk food, and the cashier or baby smacks the junk food junkie in the head? Well every time I see that commercial I will think of DL's management getting a smack on the forehead.

Tomato juice = Bloody Mary mix
Apple juice = Cranapple juice
Ginger Ale = Take your pick...Sprite/Fresca

I find the Bloody Mary Mix way too spicy for me! I will miss the tomato juice.:td:

We used to do this at a bar/restaurant I worked at in college. It works 9.5/10 times. Especially when mixing it with something. Ginger ale doesn't have real ginger any more anyway it's all artificial. Most people would not like the real stuff any more.

None of those are equal.
