Sir Richard Branson partners with Ryan Reynolds gin

Ryan Reynolds is in cloud nine! His Aviation Gin will be served on Virgin Atlantic flights.

The actor bought the brand last year from Davos Brands.

Reynolds says: "“I’ve been a huge fan of Sir Richard Branson and Virgin for years. For Aviation to be chosen as the gin of choice for such an iconic and quintessentially British brand is a complete honour."

He adds: "We look forward to serving Virgin Atlantic guests for years to come and, on a personal note, Sir Richard has promised to teach me the difference between revenue and profit, so I am beyond excited.”

Virgin Atlantic customers are in for gin treat, on 30 September there will be bartenders on board certain flights to create a special mixology experience as part of Aviation's take-off with Virgin Atlantic.

Sir Richard Branson says: “I’m delighted Virgin Atlantic is working with Ryan and his team on this partnership. Aviation Gin was born out of a spirit of innovation, so serving it on board Virgin Atlantic flights seemed like the perfect combination.”

Aviation Gin is available in South Africa, at most good liquor stores.
