Now it’s a flying experience like no other and it’s just about to get even livelier as we get tipsy and scratchy with Ryanair’s new cocktails.
Often more a fleein’ experience Ryanair‘s passengers like to get high before and during the flight.
And I’m reminded here and wondering too of our old country singer pal who performed for us in San Antonio, Dierks Bentley.
And if he had been inspired by a Ryanair flight to pen his hit Getting Drunk on a Plane.
The Ryanair flight crew will keep your spirits up with a constant stream of information on their offers.
Their merch and the foods and drinks they serve.
Including their famous scratch lottery cards.
All with a background of bells and whistles and blasts when they announce that they have got to their destination on time, or early.
Airport drinks
Of course, passengers quite often get a jump on their partying in the bar beforehand with the obligatory ‘airport drinks’.
Now all this craic, the haps and mishaps and the people we meet on Ryanair flights is best curated.
In my old colleague and fellow award-winning Travel writer Philip Nolan’s excellent Ryanland.
When he flew to each of the Irish low-fares’ destinations around Europe.
Now Ryanair may not be known for its upgrades so cocktails might come as a surprise to some.
But CEO Michael O’Leary who is known to let his hair down.
Particularly when buying the drinks for Irish race fans back from the Cheltenham Races knows his customers.
And hence he is introducing these drinks to the flying public.
Now, as you’ll quickly discover if you spend any time with the Irish, they love to spin a tale.
What’s in a name
And so Dublin Lemonade is only half the story.
It is actually a Jameson Irish Whiskey (or Jemmy as they call it in the Fair City), Sprite Zero and sparkling water.
While a Fruit Snack is Bombay Sapphire Gin, Sprite Zero and Capri-sun.
The Rose Spritz is rose wine and Sprite Zero.
While a Flying Iced Tea which is guaranteed to get you fleein’ drunk is Bombay Sapphire Gin, Absolut Vodka and Coca-Cola.
Whichever drink you imbibe, and they’re all under a tenner, isn’t it time to get tipsy and scratchy with Ryanair’s new cocktails?
