oneworld and The Connaught, London mix sweet cocktails together

oneworld, the global airline alliance, is celebrating its 25th birthday with The Connaught in London by introducing a new cocktail.

Dubbed ‘The 25’, this concoction has made its debut at the Soho Lounge within the American Airlines and British Airways Joint Premium Lounges at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Terminal 8. 

Crafted exclusively for oneworld’s 25th anniversary by Ago Perrone, the Director of Mixology at The Connaught Bar in Mayfair, ‘The 25’ cocktail features a nuanced blend of London Dry Gin, Sweet Vermouth, Bitter, Mezcal, and a unique infusion of oneworld and The Connaught Orange Grove essential oil. Reminiscent of a Negroni, it marries a timeless Mediterranean essence with a touch of Mexican flair, resulting in a vibrant and harmonious blend that evokes the spirit of global exploration.

Alongside ‘The 25’, a specially curated mocktail version offers a refreshing fusion of distant inspirations and surprising flavours, comprising non-alcoholic London Dry Gin, Cranberry Juice, Mediterranean Tonic, and the distinctive oneworld and The Connaught Orange Grove essential oil.
