Virgin America to offer absinthe on drink menu
Known for its hip and well, California flair, Virgin American Airlines will be offering something a bit more down to earth in terms of beverage selection. Ready to see things in a different light, or maybe see things that aren't there? Absinthe.

I just noticed the e-mail announcement. 
ELEVATE UPDATE: Absinthe On Board. Bon Voyage!
BiziBB,
Don’t be surprised if you see a Green Fairy on board your next Virgin America flight.
Virgin America is delighted to be the first Airline to offer Absinthe in-flight.
Le Tourment Vert authentic French absinthe is now available on all Virgin America flights. Try our Mile High Cocktail, a Tourmenting and satisfying blend of Le Tourment Vert Absinthe, sprite and lemons shaken and served over ice. Bon Voyage!

The Absinthe they serve is pretty non-standard compared to what I've had in Europe, is almost more of an Absinthe cocktail in and of itself to start with.
Very thin, almost a clear blue colour, vs thicker green syrup.
