Recipe Tips

  • Chill all glassware and liquid ingredients for at least 30 minutes before assembly to preserve carbonation.
  • Use a long-handled bar spoon to stir the syrups and juices before adding the bubbles to avoid losing fizz.
  • For the best visual presentation, serve the flight immediately after pouring to maintain the vibrant colors and active bubbles.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: To serve a larger group, pre-mix the juice and syrup components for each pour in separate carafes. When ready to serve, pour 2 to 2.5 ounces of the pre-mix into each glass and top with the appropriate sparkling element to ensure every guest receives a fresh, fizzy drink.

Easy swaps: Substitute honey for agave nectar in the blood orange pour for a deeper floral note. Use sparkling apple cider instead of mineral water in the peach tea pour for extra sweetness. Replace black tea with Earl Grey for a more pronounced bergamot aroma in the peach profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare the flight components in advance?

The juices and syrups can be mixed up to 24 hours ahead, but the sparkling water and tonic must be added just before serving to ensure the flight is effervescent.

What type of glassware is best for a tasting flight?

Small 4-ounce to 5-ounce juice glasses or specialized tasting glasses work best to keep the portions manageable and the presentation cohesive.

How do I make the rosemary syrup from scratch?

Simmer 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary for 5 minutes, then let it steep for 10 minutes before straining and cooling.
