New Signature Drink: Austrian Airlines serves the "Austrian Dirndl"
Austrian Airlines is expanding the culinary offerings on its long-haul flights. Effective immediately, passengers can enjoy a new signature drink called the "Austrian Dirndl." The beverage is intended to bring a piece of Austrian tradition directly to passengers on board.
The main ingredient of the cocktail is organic cornelian cherries (Dirndln) sourced from the greater Vienna area. The cornelian cherry, also known as the "Dirndl" in German, is a typical Austrian fruit particularly valued for its tart and aromatic flavor. With this choice, the airline underscores its focus on regional products.
With this innovation, the company aims to strengthen Austrian identity on international flights. Passengers now have the opportunity to sample a drink during their flight that is closely linked to local agriculture and culture.
The new signature drink is now part of the service offering on all of the airline's long-haul routes. Travelers can therefore look forward to a culinary specialty that adds a regional touch to their in-flight comfort.
