With US National Cocktail Day fast approaching (24 March), Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation Gin has provided the details of two delicious and inventive cocktails which can be made at home to celebrate the occasion.
The first, The Aviation Recipe, is a tried and tested classic from the brand, while Tom Collins is a timely springtime favourite, not only to be enjoyed for National Cocktail Day but for the Easter festivities ahead, too.
Below are the recipes of both cocktails, which go perfectly with with Aviation’s trademark gin.
