Do EasyJet sell duty free?

My crazy friend who lives in Turkey has perfected the perfect vodka smoothie (he also has a water cooler with home brew cider in it) and has asked me to bring him more vodka when I fly out-

My question-

I am flying Easyjet from Gatwick and have never flown Easyjet, do they sell duty free on-board as I cant find any link to it or their catalouge?

(wow- loads of alcohol, a crazy friend and a massive knife collection- this will end well!)

    They do to Turkey as it isn't in the EU.

    However, in my experience (never tried with Easyjet) prices on board have always been higher than in duty-free shops before departure.

    Unlikely you'll get that on board but if you tweet/email them they'll let you know what they seel on that specific route

    Why not just buy ity at Gatwick before you depart ?

    Their onboard mag is here:

    http://buyonboard.easyjet.com/

    but it doesn't show spirits other than the drink on board miniatures. I doubt they'd want to lug around several different large bottles of spirits on weight/space grounds anyway.

    As Voyager2002 said you'd be better off getting what you want in airside d/f shops.

    Why did he think "systolic" ?

    Gatwick duty free don't sell it, seems to have a very poor choice.

    I'm sure I bought 1 litre bottle of Sky vodka on easyjet duty free for £10.
    Last year though.
