Aviation Cranberry & Blood Orange Gin 750 ml

Aviation Cranberry & Blood Orange is Aviation American Gin's first flavored release, built on the brand's signature gin recipe — lighter on juniper than a classic London Dry, with cardamom, coriander and a touch of lavender in the background — and layered with cranberry and blood orange. It's a departure for a brand that built its identity on a botanical-forward, food-friendly gin rather than flavored spirits, so expect the base gin's structure to still carry the fruit rather than the other way around: tart cranberry and bright citrus over a gin backbone rather than a sweetened liqueur. Good for drinkers who like Aviation's style but want a seasonal twist.

How to drink Aviation Cranberry & Blood Orange

A simple gin and soda or gin and tonic lets the cranberry and blood orange lead without extra sugar. It also makes a strong stand-in for a Cosmopolitan if you want something built for the fall or holiday table.
