Ryan Reynolds' Aviation Gin partnered with the Westminster Dog Show and created a brand-new signature drink called The Sensation. Although Aviation Gin is known for its unconventional stunts, this partnership is as unlikely as ever. The pairing was announced with a 45-second ad showing Reynolds himself stretching and mopping his brow before bringing out a bottle of company's "Best in Show" gin out on a leash.
The Sensation is a cocktail that can be prepared with a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and simple syrup, plus five muddled blackberries. All of these ingredients are served in a coupe or martini glass with a lemon peel garnish after being shaken and strained with ice.
