A drink I’ve always been partial to is a cocktail, but I rarely have them as they’re pretty pricey. I can now get a Funkin’ cocktail when flying Aer Lingus, which adds to the food and drink available on their Bia menu.
These are offered in addition to all the other food and drinks you can purchase. Happily, even the price isn’t too ridiculous, particularly when compared to Dublin bar prices.
Have A Funkin’ Cocktail
Those Funkin’ cocktails come in two versions on Aer Lingus – one is a Passion Fruit Martini and the other is a Strawberry Daiquiri. The company itself offers seven other flavours, but these are the two available when flying the Irish airline.
I was on a flight to Malta and the cabin crew raised an eyebrow when I ordered both straight off the bat. Hey, it’s a three and a half hour flight from Dublin, so it’s not like I was on a quick 40 minute hop!
Taste wise, both were very good, but I preferred the Strawberry Daiquiri over the Passion Fruit Martini. Certainly worth the €7.00 for a treat, and I took advantage of it and had the Daiquiri again on my return flight.
Overall Thoughts
It’s always nice to see airlines offering something new on board and the Funkin’ Cocktails are pretty good. When having a drink on a flight, I’d prefer something like this over a beer, wine, vodka or gin, which seem to be the airline staples.
