VIRGIN ATLANTIC has come up with a cabin service idea that is not new but has lacked highlighting by the world”s airlines in the last few years. The Virgin move will now get them all scampering around for a similar in-flight offering. Essentially Upper Class passengers are to be offered a choice of cocktails on selected flights served by a skilled mixologist wearing a Bombay Sapphire uniform and therefore clearly distinguishable from the Virgin Atlantic cabin crew. Mixologists will receive extensive safety procedure training to enable them to work onboard an aircraft and will not perform any additional duties throughout the flight. The cocktail menu will feature Bombay Sapphire Martini, the Jade Garden, the Eastern Soul, Breakfast Martini, Hedgerow Sling and a signature cocktail ”The RedHead” which has been created especially for Virgin Atlantic ” a delicious blend of fresh raspberries and framboise shaken with Bombay Sapphire and lemon juice, served in a flute, topped with champagne and garnished with a signature twist. This new product was unveiled on Virgin”s recent inaugural from London to Sydney.
