The Ultimate Stanley • A Gili Lankanfushi Maldives Cocktail

This cocktail is named after the much loved bartender Vijesh at the Gili Lankanfushi Maldives. Vijesh, also known as Stanley, is passionate about showcasing the best of local produce and traditional Maldivian flavours in his cocktails, utilising natural sweetness from fruit rather than adding any refined sugar. This is one of his favourites, with the flavours of gin and aperol complemented by grapefruit and passionfruit.
