PREP! Cocktails
Unfortunately, Vernon, could not make it to PREP!, so we improvised. At SWAM, customers frequently ask if they can carry alcohol on the plane with them when travelling. Yes, you are permitted to carry a total of 3 oz. of liquid or gel in a 1 quart bag. The volume in a miniature liquor bottle is 50 ml or 1.69 oz. which totals to 2 minis (100 ml) allowed in your 1 quart bag. Here’s one example of a cocktail that is easy to prepare and having two versatile liqueurs will create different cocktails later. Travelling is stressful and tiresome, a simple cocktail makes the journey a lot more fun.
