A taste of elegance at 30,000 feet โ the promise of China Airlines’ latest inflight innovation.
Starting January 1, 2025, passengers across all cabin classes will experience cocktails crafted in partnership with SUNMAI and the trendy BLAH BLAH Bar.
This collaboration introduces two bespoke beverages, the Passionfruit Lemon Cocktail and the Oolong Blackcurrant Cocktail, reflecting the airline’s commitment to elevating inflight dining.
The Cocktails
Passionfruit Lemon Cocktail (Served on flights departing Taipei)
Inspired by the soft hues of clouds and the plum blossom emblem in China Airlines’ logo, it combines passionfruit liqueur, vodka, and fresh lemon juice.
Oolong Blackcurrant Cocktail (Served on flights to Taipei)
This elegant drink marries the tart richness of blackcurrant liqueur with the earthy notes of Dongding Oolong tea. Its multi-layered sweetness pairs well with meat dishes, adding depth to the inflight dining experience.
From February 2025, both drinks will be available on flights departing from and returning to Songshan and Kaohsiung airports.
Beyond the Flight
China Airlines has made this launch interactive with a special social media campaign. Passengers can share photos of their inflight cocktails on China Airlines, BLAH BLAH Bar, or SUNMAI’s Facebook pages to win Economy Class return tickets to any regional destination.
Innovation in Inflight Dining
China Airlines has a history of elevating inflight cuisine through collaborations with culinary icons. Previous partnerships include Michelin-starred restaurants like Yangming Spring, Les Palais, and Toutouan in Tokyo.
The airline also introduced bespoke desserts, beverages, and bread crafted by boutique patisseries and world-class bakers like Le Ruban Pรขtisserie and Chen Yao-Chun.
