So how was it?
Well, first of all for $7 it actually fits into two drink cups with ice so I felt like I got my money’s worth. Two, I saw the tiny bottle of Stirrings and the flight attendant mentioned that she needed to get the shaker in the back and make it. I liked knowing it was shaken! I wished she would have made it in front of me (and the ceremony might actually promote the new drink to other passengers!) but that’s okay. I think it was her first one! It came with lime instead of fresh mint but frankly, I wasn’t expecting fresh mint and I’ll take a lime. I’m pretty forgiving back here in row 16A in coach.
Flavor: Not bad. Hey it’s a mix but I thought it was pretty refreshing. Very light on the mint and yes, it’s really sweet.
Appearance: I wish they had a special glass- it looked like a club soda with lime so no points for that.
Value: I thought it was pretty good. I am positive that I have paid more for worse in bars. Although with the two cups, I felt a bit like a lush sitting next to a teenage girl who was traveling with her family, but oh well.
Overall: I was pleased. I am woman who likes a cocktail and I feel like this offering, although not truly authentic, is satisfying a desire for me on a four hour flight- perhaps one that I hadn’t thought of until I saw it. Bravo!
