The Mile High Mixer ✈️🍒✨

Sometimes the best cocktails aren’t planned...they just happen. The Mile High Mixer is exactly that: a simple, refreshing in-flight creation that proves you don’t need a full bar to make something worth sipping.

After a little time away on vacation, inspiration decided to show up somewhere unexpected...mid-flight, 35,000 feet in the air. With limited options from the drink cart, it became a fun challenge to turn a few basic ingredients into something elevated.

This cocktail is built around a classic mini bottle of vodka, paired with Minute Maid Cranberry Cocktail for a touch of tart sweetness and Berry La Croix for a light, sparkling finish. It’s the kind of combination that feels effortless but delivers big on refreshment.

A squeeze of fresh lime ties everything together, adding just enough brightness to balance the cranberry and enhance the berry notes from the seltzer.

The result is a crisp, slightly tart, and bubbly cocktail that somehow tastes even better when you’re cruising above the clouds.

The Mile High Mixer Recipe

• Start with a glass filled with ice
