In the mood for a mojito, pomegranate martini or Red Bull-spiked cocktail?
Well, you won’t have to head to a bar to indulge in these specialty drinks.
Starting Thursday, you can find them on Continental Airlines flights to North American, Caribbean and Latin American destinations.
Customers can buy the mixes with alcohol for $9 and without it for $3.
Continental is joining other carriers that are getting creative with the drinks they’re selling — going beyond the wine and beer they already offer — as part of the airline industry’s ongoing efforts to increase revenue.
Southwest Airlines sells a $4 screwdriver. Delta Air Lines has a mix of rum, orange juice and cranberry-apple juice that it calls the Five O’Clock Somewhere and sells for $7.
