It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
By Linda Tancs
Somewhere over the friendly skies someone prefers that martini shaken, not stirred. Forget the mini bottles of Wild Turkey or Grey Goose. Airlines are serving up specialty cocktails to rev up revenues as well as passengers. For $7 you can have Delta’s Five O’Clock Somewhere concoction of rum, orange juice and cranberry-apple juice. Or a $4 screwdriver on Southwest. Use your Continental coupons or credit card (it’s a cashless cabin, folks) for some mojo from your mojito or pomegranate martini. Perhaps it’s all calculated to make you forget those pesky bag charges and disappearing peanuts.
