If you want to impress your guests with a gin cocktail or two, Ryan Reynolds Aviation American Gin has four recipes to try, from an immunity-boosting Beet Itto to a warming Bijou cocktail gin spritz – and they’re all perfect for winter.
There is a certain amount of kudos to be had from handing over a beautifully crafted and garnished cocktail to guests when they come over. Of course, the idea is to make it look simple, but the truth is there is a bit of preparation involved to carry this off.
All great cocktail bars get the prep right to ensure a beautiful drink is handed over and it’s no different at home.
