Gin drinkers know about the appeal of Aviation American Gin. It’s crisp, balanced, and easy to mix with. But, up until now, they had to look elsewhere for a flavored gin. That ends now, as Aviation recently announced the launch of its first-ever flavored gin.

Aviation Cranberry & Blood Orange Flavored Gin

To say that Aviation is going bold with its first flavored gin is an understatement. It’s called Aviation Cranberry & Blood Orange Flavored Gin, and it paired Aviation’s well-known botanical gin with the bright, tart flavors of cranberry and blood orange. This new permanent expression was created to be used by professional and home bartenders to jazz up their favorite gin-based drinks.

“Innovation is at the heart of what we do. That’s true despite the fact that until today we have not really changed our product at all,” Ryan Reynolds, Co-Owner of Aviation American Gin, says.

“I am so proud of our first actual innovation – the delicious Cranberry & Blood Orange.”

Ricky Collett, Gin Category Marketing Director at Diageo, shares his enthusiasm for this new addition to the Aviation portfolio.

“We wanted to create new occasions for consumers to engage with Aviation in fresh, creative ways, and focused on crafting a liquid that delivers versatility, accessibility, and an exceptional flavor experience. The combination of Aviation’s signature gin with tart cranberry and citrus-forward blood orange offers cocktail elevation while remaining easy to enjoy.”

Where can I buy it?

No price has been announced for this new flavored gin as of yet. Like all Aviation American Gins, it’s expected to be available at retailers throughout the US. For more information on this new release and every other Aviation product, visit www.aviationgin.com.

Classic London dry gins to add to your collection
Tanqueray

When many drinkers think about gin, they are likely to envision traditional London dry gin. That’s because, like the West Coast IPA when it comes to IPAs, the London dry gin is the standard for the spirit style.

While I love a nice glass of whiskey (or a whiskey-based cocktail), the summer months were made for the pine and botanical flavors of London dry gin. This juniper-forward version is also the perfect choice for cocktail enthusiasts (in drinks like the iconic G&T, Gin Gimlet, Negroni, and more) because of its piney, botanical flavor profile, which pairs perfectly with citrus and other summery flavors. Today, I’m going to take a deep dive into this popular gin variety.

Old Forester’s new bourbon is reaching char levels we can only dream about
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Forester, the Louisville, Kentucky brand that bills itself as America’s first bottled bourbon, just released the newest entry in its 117 Series: Triple Char Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky.

The milestone here isn’t only the char — at least, not entirely. It’s also that Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression made entirely from whiskey distilled at the brand’s Main Street distillery.

Herradura is bringing back its 110-proof tequila, the strongest it’s ever made
Alcohol, Beverage, Tequila

How high in ABV can a mass-market tequila get? Herradura is looking to find out, with the return of Directo de Alambique, an unaged, still-strength expression bottled at 110 proof at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco.

The tequila first appeared in 2012 as a small-batch experiment and developed a cult following among collectors before disappearing. The brand says the 2026 return comes after years of requests from drinkers hunting down old bottles.
