Akvinta makes it to the Virgin Clubhouse

Virgin Atlantic has chosen Croatian vodka Akvinta to be its pouring vodka at its flagship Clubhouse at London Heathrow airport.

To celebrate the high-profile listing, Akvinta is running a competition with Clubhouse staff to create a new cocktail called Stoic Virgin, which will be served exclusively to Virgin passengers.

Pavel Ryabov, chief executive of Akvinta brand owner Adriatic Distillers, said the Virgin clubhouse listing was a "major milestone" in the history of Akvinta.

"I believe the philosophy of the two brands is in perfect synergy, as both represent great taste and a passion to deliver the highest standards," he said.

Akvinta vodka will also be introduced to Virgin's onboard shopping selection later on in the year.
