How to Upgrade Your Airplane Drink, According to Pros

"I note Richie Barrow of the lauded Hero Bar in Nairobi, Kenya recommends bringing a few mini-bottles aboard—particularly Scrappy’s cardamom or black lemon bitters—to ramp up standard airplane pours like a Vodka Soda, advising that bitters add depth even to the simplest drinks and can be slipped into a carry-on or toiletries bag. He also suggests using Tabasco’s classic 1/8-ounce mini-bottle to kick up the spice on an otherwise bland Bloody Mary or Red Snapper. These tips come from the reality that in-flight cocktails are usually limited to airline miniatures, so a few thoughtful extras can markedly improve the experience." - Beau Hayhoe
