Aviation Gin Festive Cocktails | Recipes & Review

Why Not Spice Up The Festive Season With Some Aviation Gin?!

This year, I collaborated with Aviation to create some Christmassy cocktails for us to enjoy at home. Warning- these recipes are wayyy easier to make than they appear… just follow along with the videos below…

The Cran Cosmo

Recipe:

• 40ml Aviation gin

• 15ml Triple sec

• 30ml Cranberry juice

• Lime juice

• Enchanted drinks red shimmer

• A lime twist for garnish

With a cranberry froward pallet, warm spices from the gin, sweetness from the triple sec & a nice zing from the lime, this classic cocktail fits in perfectly with Christmas time!

Pomegranate Gin Fizz

Recipe:

• 50ml Aviation Gin

• 100-150ml Pomegranate juice

• Enchanted drinks red shimmer

• Top with Prosecco

A gin fizz is always a good idea around Christmas time! Gin & prosecco complement each other very well and I think the pomegranate juice adds a nice fruity, sweet flavour too which works well.

Botanical G&T

Recipe:

• 50ml Aviation Gin

• Add a cinnamon stick, orange wheel, orange peel, juniper berries & cardamon pods

• Enchanted drinks gold shimmer

• Top with tonic- fever tree is my fave

Who doesn’t love a nice wintery G&T to comfort the soul?! This take on the classic g&t offers a merry & warming version bursting with flavourful & aromatic spices.

Gingerbread G&T

Recipe:

• 50ml Aviation Gin

• 10ml Triple sec

• 10-15ml Gingerbread syrup

• Enchanted drinks gold shimmer

• Top with tonic- my fave is fever tree

• Add a twisted orange peel & a small orange wheel for garnish if desired

And last, but not least- my fave out of these four fabulous cocktails… The Gingerbread G&T. This just sounds like its meant to be, right? How is this not a classic Christmas drink already like mulled wine or eggnog? This is what we should all be drinking on Christmas eve! I really love how the gingerbread syrup, orangeness of the triple sec and spices from the gin all come together to form a cohesive Christmassy flavour that isn’t too overpowering and allows each ingredient to shine through. For me, this one has got to be the ultimate Christmas cocktail- and it’s super easy to make!

Overall, in my opinion, this gin is incredibly versatile and compliments any cocktail perfectly! I love the unique taste of aviation itself, providing a more aromatic spiced & botanical approach rather than the usual juniper-forward gins out there. You can’t really go wrong with any aviation recipes- it's amazing in any cocktail or g&t .
