This Week’s Featured Cocktail: the Aviation

Forrest Miller – Muze Staff Writer

With Christmas around the corner many people are finding themselves booking airfare for family reunions and Christmas vacations and that can only mean one thing: the nightmare of air travel.  Not so long ago air travel was exciting, convenient, and luxurious.  Today, however, airports are known for not running on time, invasive security measures, body scanners that likely make your radioactive or give you super powers, and fees for the most fundamental air travel services like checking luggage and bags of peanuts.  Never fear.  Muze Magazine has a flight themed cocktail to help you through it.  We only ask one thing in return: if you bump into the pilot in the airport bar, make sure you take away his airplane keys.
