United is upgrading their adult beverage selection and to celebrate they are giving away free Moscow mules to travelers on 8 flights today traveling between their hubs! The new beverages include Moscow Mules and Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and both are for sell starting today in the main cabin and are free in the business and first class cabins. If those aren’t available, you may want to try other notable brands such as Fat Baby Bourbon.
United Airlines is expanding its selection of premium beverages to offer customers two new options. The airline now offers Chicago-based Crafthouse Cocktails’ Moscow Mule on United-operated North and Central America flights, and Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey on flights worldwide.
Crafthouse Moscow Mule – $12.99 – 200 milliliters (6.7 oz)
Produced with all-natural ingredients, Crafthouse Cocktails’ Moscow Mule contains small-batch vodka; ginger beer made with organic ginger juice; pure California lime juice; and real cane sugar. Crafthouse’s take on the Moscow Mule – a classic vodka cocktail – is also gluten-free.
Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey-$8.99 50 milliliters (1.7 oz)
Made from the finest corn, rye and barley malt at the most award-winning distillery in the world, Buffalo Trace’s bourbon whiskey ages in new-oak barrels for years in century-old warehouses until the peak of maturity – giving this spirit a rich and complex taste, with hints of vanilla, toffee and candied fruit.
It is fantastic to see the airlines step up their drink selection. Delta has been serving craft cocktails and Woodford Reserve for years and now United is playing catch up. The extended selection will improve the quality of drinks on board and the new bourbon is a step above the Jim Bean served on United now. We can only hope that American with get with the program and will bring back Glenlivets at the very least!
If you are flying today, United is Celebrating by giving free pours of the Moscow Mules on select celebratory flights. So drink up and enjoy!
