For the Stylish: A Crisp, Classy Cocktail with Natural Elegance
Some drinks are designed to dazzle — and For the Stylish does exactly that. With its sleek simplicity, bright apple notes, and the botanical fizz of Double Dutch Indian Tonic Water, this cocktail is made for those who appreciate subtle sophistication. Whether you’re entertaining in chic surroundings or just want your drink to match your mood, this highball serves clean flavour and timeless appeal — effortlessly.
At the heart of For the Stylish is Avallen, a deliciously fresh and floral Calvados made from nothing but apples, water and time. It brings an orchard-fresh aroma, gentle sweetness and a green, vibrant character that’s instantly elevated when paired with the dry bitterness of Double Dutch Indian Tonic Water. Add a few thin slices of crisp apple to garnish, and you've got a drink that’s as refined as it is refreshing.
Why We Love It
This cocktail is all about balance and clarity. It’s a brilliant alternative to a classic G&T for those looking to experiment with different base spirits, and it's naturally lower in sugar and fuss. For the Stylish is a minimal-ingredient serve that manages to feel modern, seasonal and endlessly elegant. It’s a drink that complements good company, great design, and those quiet, elevated moments you want to savour.
Perfect For…
This is the ideal cocktail for late afternoon aperitifs, rooftop sundowners or an effortlessly cool dinner party serve. It works equally well in summer and early autumn, thanks to the fresh apple flavour and clean, dry finish. If you're hosting a group, it's a dream to prepare — easy to batch and even easier to dress up with beautifully sliced fruit.
Double Dutch Mixer Match
Double Dutch Indian Tonic Water is the perfect match for Avallen's subtle sweetness. With its sharp quinine and crisp carbonation, it cuts through gently and enhances the spirit’s natural floral and green apple notes. The result is a sophisticated highball with depth, lift and just the right amount of bite.
Tips for the Perfect Serve
- Chill your glass and ingredients: This cocktail is best when ice-cold and sparkling.
- Use thin apple slices: A few fan-shaped slices or a spiral peel adds a designer touch without any fuss.
- Serve in a highball: Tall, clean lines show off the clarity and garnish beautifully.
For the Stylish is a celebration of simplicity done well. It’s light, elegant and just the right amount of understated. Whether you’re sipping solo or raising a glass with friends, this is one of those cocktails that makes any moment feel more polished — and more you.
