best beverage for the BS fare drink coupon?
My favorite beer is Corona and Sapporo. I can't stand American beer.
I tried Miller Lite again on a recent flight, using my BS fare drink coupon, but I couldn't finish the can. It just tastes horrible.
So besides beers (don't like Heineken), what other alcholic drinks are good to order? I'm not very experienced in alcoholic drinks, so I don't even like to waste the coupon ordering something I won't like...

Failing that, get the rotgut vodka and spike it with OJ or 7-up.

Vodka tonic with a lime is always a safe choice. Even if the vodka is less than premium, the lime rescues the taste of the drink. I flew Southwest a couple weeks ago, and ordered a vodka tonic with the BS coupon. Unlike most airlines in the United States, a vodka tonic on Southwest means you receive an airline bottle of vodka and a container of tonic water, along with a slice of lime in the cup. I cannot recall now what brand of vodka Southwest serves, but it may be Smirnoff, a decent brand but certainly not Grey Goose or even Skyy.

Despite the company penchant for Wild Turkey, I usually hit a CC and sprite.
I do find it funny that LUV carries the 10-year reserve CC whereas, say, US Airways carries the standard 6-year old stuff. That tells me that LUV is serious about their adult beverages. I view that as a positive.

Gin and Tonic................depends on FA's, my gin and tonic Sat on way to LAS was nothing but a glass already mixed. No bottle of Gin and no can of tonic......depressing and the usual treatment. I think it always depends on FA's
