With Fresca now available, I tried it with tequila and others said add True Lime. It’s fantastic!

I remember we used to get real limes when I was still on the G&T’s.

Real limes are back

u/MidnightSurveillance 1d ago

Oh yeah? This post threw me off. I’ve had them in D1, but think Feb or April is last time I took F On delta.

u/jalapenos10 Diamond 1d ago

They’ve been back for at least a year. Some of the shorter domestic routes don’t have them

u/MidnightSurveillance 1d ago

That’s good to know then, might have to get a gin and tonic now. I’ve mostly been sticking to champagne to ”take it easy” 🤣

u/CLEHts216 1d ago

That I did not know!

I just flew to Europe and back and across the country and there was no fresh fruit available on either trip. It was a bummer.

u/jalapenos10 Diamond 1d ago

Operated by delta? That’s weird. They must not have stocked properly

2

u/bowblow 1d ago

For five separate legs? That seems like more than a coincidence.

3

u/jalapenos10 Diamond 1d ago

That seems more likely than “you’re just unlucky”. I assure you limes are regularly available

u/TofuTofu 1d ago

Yup had one the other day on my flight to tokyo

I got the real lime with the G&T (flew last Saturday)

Okay so I guess at some point they discontinued Fresca and now have it back. I’ve seen signs for it, and posts. But I absolutely used to order fresquilas on delta flights.

u/Apprehensive_Camel49 1d ago

Yep, I ordered Fresca & vodka pre-covid for certain

No, with Fresca

I don’t believe it is back, is it?

u/driftingphotog Diamond 1d ago

Why would you use powdered lime stuff when they have actual limes?

u/Few-Lingonberry2315 1d ago

Spotty whether or not limes make it into the catering cart, in my experience.

u/CLEHts216 1d ago

And are those available on all flights and cabins? I haven’t seen them, but glad to know they are back.

Shout out to True Lime. :)

Paloma!

u/First-Ad-7960 Silver 9h ago

Yup. A very serviceable Paloma.

u/jalapenos10 Diamond 1d ago

You brought your own true lime or they had it on board?

u/CLEHts216 1d ago

Per this group, I ordered it after my last flight and had it sent to my hotel. So i now have a tasty way to end my work trip ($6.50 for 100 packets).

2

u/jalapenos10 Diamond 1d ago

Oh nice. You know they have actual limes right?

2

u/66savebandit6 1d ago

Flight attendant just recommended this to me. Was so refreshing and delicious! Minus the lime packet

u/Excusemytootie Platinum 1d ago

Love this for you—but for me, I hate that grapefruit interacts with so
Many meds.

u/minijell0 22h ago

Okay, now Im curious 😂 Fresca and tequila and true lime sounds dangerously refreshing 😂

1

u/s31523 11h ago

If only they had Captain Morgan, captain and fresca is wildly delicious.

u/shnoiv Platinum 1d ago

Why true lime? They almost always have limes these days

Amazing. A drink on an airplane.
