Jetstar also launches limited edition 18th birthday drinks
As a play on reaching Australia’s legal drinking age, Jetstar has also released a limited edition range of alcoholic seltzers for its 18th birthday, which are named after some of the airline's most popular travel destinations.
The Bali flavour features the fruity and floral flavours of rambutan and hibiscus, while the Gold Coast flavour showcases coconut and fairy floss with a hint of sea salt.
The Melbourne seltzer pays homage to Victoria's coffee culture with a deconstructed café latte flavour, and the Queenstown evokes the winter warmers of mulled wine, cloves and cinnamon.
