-We're gonna be trying out different cocktail recipes
in these little boxes that you can take on the plane.
I'm going to do it in a as true-to-life situation.
-As if I am on an airplane. -We'll see how it goes.
Wish me luck.
-So, we've got a very sleek-looking cocktail kit.
-Comes in a snazzy box. -Champagne cocktail.
Oh, that's cute. It says, "Wheels up" inside.
-I'm really into this. I feel very special,
which is, like, not how i feel when I'm on a plane.
-It's got a little spoon. I can't keep this, can I?
-Oh, a little napkin.
Oh, very classy.
-There's a little instruction manual here.
What's disappointing is that the vodka is not included.
-So, I am to procure a mini bottle of gin.
-Press the flight-attendant button.
-Can I ding for hot water? -Ding, ding, ding!
-Thank you so much. -Ah, beautiful.
Thank you. -Alright.
-I'm sure all the passengers are quite impressed
by my little thing here.
-I don't know where they expect you to do this.
-Okay. Using the jigger,
measure 1/2 ounce of tonic syrup into a cup of ice.
Oh, I forgot to get the lemon wedge.
Oh, and I need club soda. I forgot about the club soda.
-It doesn't smell that great, but I'm hoping it's not,
like, supersweet,
'cause I like mine a little white.
I have the mini bottle of vodka.
Squeeze in the lime wedge.
Eh-heh. Or dump it in.
I don't know.
And the club soda.
-Half a bottle. That's about right.
The lemon packet.
Alright. So, full mini bottle of whiskey.
That seems right.
-We're gonna put, I guess,
just one of these sugars in here and the bitters.
Oh, I'm supposed to take this guy and dissolve this.
Not really helping dissolve.
-I've got a 1/2 ounce elderflower syrup,
so I am going to stick it into the cocktail.
Oh!
And it looks like I need a lemon!
Do you have a-- Ding!
This one's quite big, so I probably won't squeeze it
the whole way.
Pour in champagne. Nice fizz!
-It's gonna have seeds in it.
This is a lot of work with the salt,
but maybe it'll be worth it.
We'll see.
Then add a half bottle of Bloody Mary mix.
Add mini bottle of vodka and tomato juice
and squeeze the lemon wedge into the cup.
I like it really lemony, so -- And there's a little spoon!
This is so cute.
Stir for 10 seconds.
-Moment of truth.
Hmm. -It's alright.
-Not the worst hot toddy I've had.
-It doesn't quite taste like an Old Fashioned.
-There's -- There's vodka in there.
But the ginger syrup
is kind of subtle and just a little disappointing.
-It's pretty good, actually.
It kind of tastes almost barbecuey.
-The tonic syrup is a little weird.
I feel like I added a little bit of cough syrup.
-I wouldn't call my mother up and say,
"Hey, I just had the best Moscow Mule ever in my life,"
because it's not.
-I would think regular tonic water would be definitely
better than this stuff.
-The only thing that I would be worried about
is the lemon wedge.
I'm not sure how often you can get that on an airplane.
-I mean, it's simple to make if this is what you want to do.
-It's kind of fun. I don't know.
Plane rides are -- can be boring.
This is a good like two minutes of entertainment.
-I might feel awkward assembling a cocktail
while in a middle seat of an airplane
just 'cause my arms tend to do whatever they want.
-I mean, I don't know. What do these cost?
-Oh, it costs $30? -Oh.
-I don't know. -$30 for each of these?
-That's a lot. -You're kidding!
And you don't even get the gin?
-4 ounces of not-great bourbon is not superexpensive,
and for $30, I would expect that in the packet.
-The price point is slightly ridiculous.
-I'm leaving it.
-I would take it. Yeah.
-I would gift it 'cause it's a cute gift,
but if I were buying it for myself, no way.
-I'm leaving it. -I would take it.
I like it.
-I will leave this -- right here.
It will not go with me anywhere.
