British premium RTD cocktail brand, Tom Savano, has announced a bespoke cocktail collaboration with Virgin Atlantic Airlines, in addition to winning “Best Inflight Food or Beverage” accolades at the 2025 IFSA Awards
Travel-inspired luxury cocktail brand, Tom Savano, is over the moon to announce an exciting new RTD cocktail collaboration with globally recognised airline, Virgin Atlantic, which has already won “Best Inflight Food or Beverage” at the 2025 IFSA awards.
Holding eighteen Great Taste stars, and renowned for the quality of their drinks and their ability to transport cocktail lovers to beautiful travel destinations with every sip, Tom Savano have previously worked with Virgin Atlantic on Upper Class cocktail tasting experiences before being approached by the Virgin Inflight Services team about a new exciting project, involving their signature clubhouse cocktail, the Virgin Redhead.
The Virgin Redhead, a sumptuous blend of gin, lemon juice, strawberry and blackberry liqueurs, topped with Prosecco, has been a luxurious staple in their lounges for decades. To celebrate their 40th birthday, they wanted to bring it to life onboard, and so approached James Kerslake, the cocktail maestro and sundowner obsessive behind wildly popular Tom Savano, to re-imagine the Redhead in a canned RTD format, to allow it to be served in flight.
James Kerslake, founder of Tom Savano, comments: “Of course I was over the moon to take on this project, having developed every Tom Savano recipe by hand, and being hugely passionate about the airline industry. The Virgin Redhead evokes the golden age of aviation. It’s about passion, with a hint of cheekiness.” The Virgin Redhead RTD cocktail will be available on all routes to customers flying in Upper class cabins, and available to purchase in Economy and Premium via the Retail Therapy service.
Tom Savano have also recently worked with the Eurostar for a bespoke non-alcoholic RTD, launching November 2025 aboard UK and France routes, and have their core range of canned RTD cocktails available onboard Princess Cruises, and in the iconic Liberty of London retail store.
