Bula! There’s nothing quite like Fiji – the beaches, the five-star resorts, the friendly people and that incredible weather.
If that’s not enough to get you in the mood for a Fijian escape, then this cocktail definitely will.
It’s called the Welcome Cocktail.
Fiji Airways’ signature drink is available to all passengers flying business class.
The Welcome Cocktail was introduced late last year when the airline revamped its business class menu and service elements.
Introduced in partnership with Fiji Rum, the drink is served after takeoff.
Local fruits and beverages are fused into the cocktail transporting passengers to the destination before they’ve arrived.
It’s true – Fiji Airways has managed to capture the country’s sunsets and spirit, mix it with a bit of alcohol and serv it up in a chilled glass.
Lucky for you, we got our hands on the recipe so you can bring a bit of Fiji to your weekend or your next gathering.
