Air France serves new cocktails on board

Air France introduces a new cocktail offer on long-haul flights, available in different travel classes. The company continues its collaboration with mixologist chef Matthias Giroud to offer drinks inspired by the French aperitif tradition and made with selected ingredients.

Business Class

In Business Class, passengers can try Quintessence, a signature cocktail made from French cognac. The recipe reinterprets the Boulevardier, a classic born in France in the twenties, combining cognac, red vermouth, alpine bitter and fig. It can be served with ice as an aperitif or without ice at the end of a meal.

Premium and Economy

In the Premium and Economy cabins , on the other hand, comes the Instant Cassis, a contemporary version of the Kir Cassis. The cocktail combines Chardonnay white wine, Burgundy blackcurrant liqueur and elderflower, for a floral, sweet and fruity taste. It will be available on board from July 1 during the main meal service, excluding flights to and from the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, where punch is served.

The Première

For La Première passengers, Air France is also offering a dedicated selection of three signature cocktails, introduced on board from March 2025 and presented in a personalized package. The proposal includes Belle Époque, a sparkling reinterpretation of the Negroni with orange hydrosol; Parfum de France, sweet and fruity cocktail with low alcohol content with Chardonnay, Muscat, raspberry liqueur and verbena; L'Éveil, a non-alcoholic cocktail with cranberry juice, mint, lime, aromatic leaves and ginger.

Air France thus enriches the on-board gastronomic experience and enhances French mixology, offering travellers a more refined service even during intercontinental flights.
