Sky’s the restrict for Christmas cocktail blended in air by free falling skydivers

A Christmas cocktail is a cherished addition to any festive dining table or living room, just as much as thoughtful presents for loved ones. However, this year sees the launch of a cocktail unlike any other.

Merging one of its most sought-after experiences, skydiving, with the time-honoured tradition of a festive beverage Buyagift has today revealed the first-ever Christmas cocktail concocted entirely in the sky by professional skydivers.

This extreme Christmas cocktail has been crafted to encourage Brits to think creatively and give meaningful experiences to their loved ones this festive season – whether that’s an exhilarating skydive or a cocktail making experience closer to home.

The ‘Free Fall’ cocktail is a perfectly pitched ‘Blue Daiquiri’ concoction, blending light white rum with triple sec, Blue Curaçao, lime and pineapple juices, plus a dash of sugar cane syrup – all shaken not stirred by daredevil skydivers above. These adventurous mixologists from Peterborough’s UK Parachuting took to the skies, performing gravity-defying loops and spirals to mix this cerulean tipple on a two-day adrenaline-fuelled mixing session.

Managing Director of Buyagift Ronan Tighe said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be taking gift gifting to new heights by unveiling the ‘Free Fall’ Christmas cocktail today. We hope that we can spread a bit of extra Christmas joy and spark a bit of inspiration around meaningful presents.

“We know that Christmas gifting and trying to find authentic and unique gifts for family, friends or partners can be tough. At Buyagift we want to take the stress out of Christmas shopping and help Brits give gifts that live long in the recipients’ memory”.
