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.
