9 In-Flight Cocktails to Mix Onboard and Dramatically Improve Your Next Flight

If you fly even half as often as I do, you're all too familiar with your preferred airline's beverage cart. You know the soft drink standards, the Cokes, the Diet Cokes, the ginger ales, thetomato juices。You know thebeer selection, the house wine, the few random eccentricities (Fresca? Love you, Delta.) and, of course, theliquor cabinet。But no matter how many nips your flight attendants carry, a person can only drink so many杜松子酒和奎宁水or rum and cokes before getting painfully bored... especially when that person's a cocktail writer stuck on a 14-hour long haul.

That's how I found myself sitting on a recent transatlantic flight, armed with a notebook, a pen and more mini bottles than a Duty-Free checkout kiosk. I turned my seat-back tray table into some sort of deranged laboratory, mixing, matching, measuring and sipping away as the good people of row 12 attempted to gulp down their Chicken Kiev and watch水的形状安详地。这是一个令人痛苦的经历（至少在他们透过冰淇淋酒吧，每个人都忘记了我），由一个甜蜜的法国乘务员做得更好，他们不仅通过递交一些额外的瓶子，而且还为我提供了她的支持非常自身威士忌尖刺的咖啡配方（此列表中的第一款）。祝福你，席琳。

The result: Ninestellar cocktails, each able to hold its weight against anything stirred up back on earth. Now sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.

Save space in your carry on

While not essential, you might want to throw a few extras in your carry on to fill out your cocktail kit like bitters, hot sauce (those baby Tabasco bottles you get with room service are perfect),马蒂尼尼橄榄, pearl onions or maraschino cherries, as long as they're packaged in two to three-ounce containers. Packing a couple of those little 2.5 ounce squeeze bottles of lemon and lime juice is also a great idea, as is picking up a few pocket-sized garnishes like mints, ginger candies, beef jerky or dried fruit. And if you really want to go all out, no barkeep worth their salt rim ever refused a small metal funnel.

Many airlines publish their standard drinks and snacks menus online, so look ahead to see what supplements you need if you've got a particular recipe in mind.

在董事会前击中小吃店

很多友好的天空更令人满意的混合物呼吁可以轻松采购的成分或酒吧工具，以便在最近的星巴克旅行中获得。蜂蜜，糖和人造甜味剂包，额外的稻草或搅拌器，塑料用具，额外的餐巾和盐和胡椒包都是很好的抢夺。

Another reason to make the stop?简单的糖浆。要求咖啡师加入一半到三分之三充满了双杯热水，然后向牛奶计数器前往牛奶柜台，少量糖包（我更喜欢糖中的糖，但常规白色的作品也是如此）。将杯子分开并将糖倒入空杯中，直到它们甚至与其他杯子的水位相达。将糖加入水中并搅拌直至它完全溶解，然后将盖子放在那只小狗上，让它冷却。虽然你绝对可以在船上制作这个食谱，但你可以在飞行前的那个额外的小时内使用，让它来到室温，所以你一旦饮料购物车开始滚动就可以摇滚。

Err on the side of stirred, not shaken

Some recipes truly rely on a hard, frosty shake, but that's quite a tall order when you're working with equal sized cups, cramped quarters and inevitable turbulence. Stirred cocktails are your friends, up there. And if you must shake away, ask for an extra plastic cup and quickly pour the iced contents back and forth between the two until chilled and fully integrated. The effect won't be ideal, but at least you're saving your row-mate from some pretty awkward elbow-to-forehead action.

这是晚餐后的冠军。将这种甜蜜的肚皮温暖与餐后罗马夫搭配搭配，在家伙（终于）拿到这个女孩之前你将在日志中。

Pour the hot cocktail into the rimmed cup, wrap yourself in a staticky blanket and push that recline button all the way in, pal.
