A little midweek silliness…So you are on a long overnight flight to a fabulous European destination. This calls for a drink for three reasons:
1. VACATION STARTS NOW
2. Drinks are free on intercontinental flights
3.You need something to wash down that Benadryl so you can sleep sitting up with your knees tucked under your chin.
Here comes the drink cart and like the diligent wine connoisseur you are, you ask what type of red wine is available. The flight attendant replies, “Merlot I think,” and holds up a bright pink bag o’ wine. Noooooo!
This sad scenario is based on actual recent events. Luckily Tasting Pour’s MacGyver like cocktail Mixmaster came to the rescue. Future travelers we give you the “Intercontinental.”
