What's your go-to drink on a flight? Now imagine adding a touch of luxury to your journey-even from an economy seat-by sipping on a homemade Espresso Martini. That is exactly what content creator Natalia did, alongside her musician boyfriend, Cire. In a video that is making the rounds on social media, the couple is seen crafting the classic cocktail mid-flight. The clip is captioned "Romanticizing economy," and it's hard to deny their dreamy, DIY approach to travel. The duo begins by adding ice cubes to a blender, followed by the other key ingredients.
In the comments, Natalia shares her simple recipe: vodka, coffee liqueur, a shot of espresso, and a dash of Baileys (optional for extra sweetness). With a wide smile, she shakes the blender vigorously, mixing everything with flair.

Next comes the best part-serving. Natalia pours the mixture into elegant martini glasses, clinks cheers with her boyfriend, and takes a joyful sip. Their delight is evident. Even sweeter? She offers the extra drink to her middle-seat neighbour, a gesture that instantly won over viewers online. Her playful side note-"Manifesting that business class life"-adds just the right pinch of personality.
