In response to the pandemic, nearly every airline shut down drink service in 2020. And while many have yet to bring it back, Delta reintroduced the privilege of an in-flight mimosa in April.
And now the carrier is adding even more booze to its menu…
Minnesota’s own Du Nord Social Spirits will be available on Delta Air Lines starting on Friday. The airline is adding the craft spirit from America’s first Black-owned distillery to its beverage carts.
Du Nord Social Spirits is the first Black-owned distillery in the U.S. and its Foundation Vodka will be available for sale on all of Delta’s domestic flights starting October. In 2022, the airline plans to add more Du Nord products and launch the spirits internationally.
On Wednesday, Delta announced the addition of seven new drink offerings, which include:
- Breckenridge Brewery Cookie Porter
- Une Femme “The Callie” California Sparkling Rosé
- Tip Top Proper Cocktails Negroni
- Terrapin Beer Company Hopsecutioner IPA
- Vizzy Hard Seltzer Pineapple Mango
- WhistlePig Orange Fashioned Cocktail Kit
- Du Nord Vodka
“We’ve really taken an intentional approach in reintroducing our onboard food and beverage offerings for our customers, and we are bringing service back better than before. As part of this, we’ve developed new specially curated food menus, new beverages, and a refreshed snack lineup,” managing director of onboard services operations at Delta Air Lines Mike Henny told Fortune.
DU NORD FOUNDATION VODKA
Foundation Vodka is smooth and easy to drink, whether on its own or mixed. Du Nord’s Foundation Vodka will be available for sale on all domestic flights starting October. In 2022, Delta will bring on more Du Nord products and plans to launch the spirits internationally.
BRECKENRIDGE BREWERY COOKIE PORTER BEER
Breckenridge Brewery’s newest beer is a unique twist on its Vanilla Porter and is inspired by the world’s favorite shortbread cookie to create an indulgent delight. Notes of biscuit, cinnamon, nutmeg and coffee combine with roasted malts and Madagascar vanilla to create the perfect pairing of classic favorites – cookies and beer.
Breckenridge’s beer will be available for sale on all domestic flights from October through the end of 2021.
UNE FEMME “THE CALLIE” CALIFORNIA SPARKLING ROSÉ
Une Femme produces 100% women-made champagne and sparkling wine; for every bottle the company sells, it donates to a charitable organization with the purpose of improving the lives of women. “The Callie” is Une Femme’s California sparkler. This crushable sparkling rosé is made with Napa and Sonoma-grown chardonnay, pinot noir and mourvedre grapes. It features juicy notes of ripe strawberry and rose petal on the nose, as well as nicely structured red fruits – think warm blackberries freshly plucked from the vine.
Une Femme’s sparkling rose will be available for sale on select domestic flights throughout the month of October. Delta plans to bring more Une Femme products onboard in 2022.
TIP TOP PROPER COCKTAILS NEGRONI
Each sip of this Negroni bursts with bittersweet notes of bright orange, grapefruit and fresh juniper. Tip Top’s traditional preparation of this classic, which includes dry gin, red bitters and sweet vermouth, pours perfectly over ice, straight from the can, every time.
Tip Top’s Negroni will be available for sale on select domestic flights throughout the month of October.
TERRAPIN BEER COMPANY HOPSECUTIONER IPA
The Hopsecutioner IPA is Terrapin Beer Company’s flagship beer. The beer has a light copper color and carries aromas of fresh pine and citrus. A strong malt backbone provides balance to an aggressive hop bitterness.
Terrapin’s Hopsecutioner will be available for sale on select domestic flights throughout the month of October.
VIZZY HARD SELTZER PINEAPPLE MANGO
Vizzy Hard Seltzer is the first hard seltzer made with acerola cherry, the superfruit high in the antioxidant vitamin C. At 5% alcohol by volume, Vizzy Hard Seltzer is crafted with only 100 calories and 1 gram of sugar. Delta will serve Vizzy’s Pineapple Mango seltzer, featuring natural flavors of sweet pineapple and juicy mango.
Vizzy Hard Seltzer is now available on all domestic flights.
WHISTLEPIG ORANGE FASHIONED COCKTAIL KIT: PIGGYBACK RYE WHISKEY WITH ORANGE FASHIONED MAPLE COCKTAIL SYRUP
WhistlePig puts a twist on the classic Old Fashioned, pairing its 6-year-old PiggyBack Rye Whiskey with an Orange Fashioned Maple Cocktail Syrup that makes a sturdy seasonal cocktail with flavors of cinnamon, citrus and sweetened with real maple syrup.
WhistlePig’s cocktail kit will be available for domestic coast-to-coast and international Delta One customers from October through the end of 2021.
