?? Virgin Atlantic’s Award-Winning ‘Virgin Redhead’ Cocktail: Sip, Sip, Hooray at 35,000 Feet! ???? This week from London Heathrow to Atlanta, Virgin Atlantic’s inflight service manager offered me something special to close out the journey: their signature ‘Virgin Redhead’ cocktail. As soon as I heard the name, I smiled—this wasn’t just any cocktail. I remembered it had won Best Inflight Food or Beverage at the 2025 APEX/IFSA Awards and even pulled up the official APEX site to show the crew. They were thrilled to see the award recognition right there on screen! Crafted in collaboration with British premium brand leader Tom Savano, the Virgin Redhead is a refreshingly bold cocktail with 8% alcohol, perfectly balanced with fruity and botanical notes. It was served chilled, so I enjoyed it without ice to relish the full flavor. It embodies Virgin Atlantic’s uniquely playful and polished brand with; ?? A burst of juicy, fresh flavor in every Virgin Atlantic red tinted sip ?? Crafted for premium inflight service with bar-quality taste ?? Winner of the 2025 IFSA Award for Best Inflight Food or Beverage ? A perfect way to toast the journey—especially in Virgin Atlantic Upper Class It’s not just a cocktail. It’s part of the experience—an example of how thoughtful design, excellent service, and innovation can elevate even the smallest moment onboard. Cheers to Virgin Atlantic for raising the bar once again—this time, in a can! #VirginAtlantic #InflightExperience #PassengerExperience #PaxEx #Aviation #VirginRedhead #LuxuryTravel #TomSavano #IFSAAwards #AirlineInnovation #CheersToThat #PaxEx APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) IFSA (International Flight Services Association)
