In-Flight Cocktail of the Month: Virgin Atlantic's 'Virgin Kiss'

December 2, 2011 at 2:04 PM | by | Comments (0)

As many already know, we have a serious obsession with airline cocktails, and so much is our passion that we've created a whole first-Friday-of-the-month feature called In-Flight Cocktail of the Month, which highlights the special concoctions that flight attendants whip up with only a cocktail shaker, some tiny liquor bottles and a whole lot of hope that it won't make you drunk and unruly.

Up until now, Virgin Atlantic's In-Flight Cocktail of the Month accolades have been the liquidy soundtrack to our past two summers. But a cocktail is for life, not just the hot months, so for December we're warming up with the SFO Clubhouse's signature cocktail: the Virgin Kiss.

According to the menu, a Virgin Kiss contains:

Absolut mandarin vodka, Bacardi limon rum, sweet and sour, cranberry juice with a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass.

Unhappily for us, the server initially misheard our request and brought us a Virgin Redhead (muddled raspberries, pressed lemon juice, cassis and framboise liqueurs, shaken with Bombay Saphire and finished with bubbly—pictured below).

It was very nice, but very signature Virgin, so we asked for a second round with the Virgin Kiss we initially sought. It was sweet. It was sour. It was deliciously crackly with the sugar rim. It left us doing a jaunty little walk onto the plane. So jaunty, in fact, that we passed on the booze onboard. Virgin Atlantic: sneaky, sneaky.
