Whipping up your favourite cocktail in the comfort of your own home shouldn’t feel like rocket science anymore, especially when you choose an versatile, nuanced and bright spirit Gin like Bombay Sapphire, an ultimate favourite for those looking for creative and enjoyable way to experiment with delightful flavours.
This World Gin Day, Bombay Sapphire invites you to stir creativity as you make at home your own deliciously refreshing gin cocktails with the right balance of flavours.
Made from 10 sustainability-sourced hand-selected botanicals from exotic locations around the world, Bombay Sapphire makes for the perfect creative canvas for cocktails that awaken all the senses. With fresh citrus aromas of lemongrass, subtle hints of spice and jupiner berries that make it easy to drink, it is a must for a particular generation of gin drinkers looking for a more complex gin with a variety of distinctive notes that aren’t only more than just juniper, but work well together.
These distinctive notes were perfectly brought to life at an exclusive get-together with the who’s who of South African entertainment landscape at Beechwood Gardens in Hyde Park, Johannesburg on Friday. It’s here where guests got to learn that there’s a fun world of cocktail and food pairings out there, and that artfully whipped up Bombay cocktails can make some pretty killer match to any great meal.
