Upper Class never tasted so good
Bold, sophisticated and full of character, our Signature Bloody Mary Mix is an elevated take on a classic. Made exclusively in collaboration with The Pickle House, this small-batch blend fuses tangy pickle brine with a perfectly balanced spice mix for a drink with serious bite.
Cherry Pie in the Sky is our playful twist on a British classic, indulgent ice cream with a ribbon-swirl of sauce, and crumbly biscuit pieces for bite. Feet up, press play, and settle in for the ultimate cinema night at 35,000 feet.
