The new ParentDish: helping raise kids of all ages

Mile-high Mojitos

Forget about lousy tomato juice and those miniature bottles of bad wine you had on your last airline flight. Bad beverages and boring cocktails are a thing of the past, or at least they are on Delta Airlines. In an attempt to spruce up their in-flight offerings, the airline has gone the way of so many restaurants and bars by introducing a signature cocktail.

The drink? The "Mile-high Mojitos." (They're great. Trust me, I had about three of them on my flight from Maine to Ohio last week. Of course, the only reason I know about these cocktails to begin with is because I was mysteriously upgraded for free. My lucky day apparently.)

And even though the Mojito wasn't prepared to my exacting specifications, with huge twigs of fresh mint, like they do at my favorite local bar, it was a pretty great cocktail. The mix contained the appropriate level of sweet and tart, cool and limey. So, next time you are flying Delta, by all means, order one. What else are you going to do? Read SkyMall magazine?

Tip of the Day

Have you ever stashed a Coke in the freezer, hoping to chill it quickly, then forgotten all about it, only to have it explode all over your frozen peas?
