Why You Should Never Order Shaken Cocktails On An Airplane - Tasting Table
Briefly

Flying offers a unique experience, but ordering shaken cocktails can be impractical due to the limited space and equipment available to flight attendants. While some aircraft have designated bar areas for first-class passengers, economy flyers might opt for easier-to-make stirred cocktails instead. Understanding which cocktails are best suited for air travel and knowing how to make them can enhance the flying experience, making it enjoyable even in the economy class.
Flight attendants famously despise serving Diet Coke because of how awkwardly it bubbles in the pressurized cabins. How do you think they'll feel whacking out a cocktail shaker in the galley?
Certain planes have designated bar areas. Don't miss out on ordering properly shaken cocktails when there's a purpose-created (and staffed) lounge.
If you're more of an economy flyer, why not learn how to make in-flight cocktails? Prioritize stir-friendly drinks, like an old fashioned.
Cocktails are primarily shaken to balance taste and temperature. Anything featuring fresh ingredients like dairy or fruit juice is best poured into a shaker.
