About Bombay Sapphire Gin & Tonic 4-Pack
Bombay Sapphire gin employs 10 botanicals in its recipe, meticulously overseen and hand-selected by their Master of Botanicals, Ivano Tonutti: almond, lemon peel, licorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise. It's the vapor infusion that plays a large role in creating its signature taste profile. During distillation, the spirit vapor passes through the botanicals, suspended at the top of the column, resulting in the delicate aromas and tastes that the gin is known for. Blended with pristine water from Lake Vyrnwy, the resulting spirit is delicate, fresh, floral, and light.
2020 has seen Bombay Sapphire join the canned cocktail game. The first release is "the usual suspect" ― the Bombay Sapphire Gin & Tonic. The classic cocktail comes in pre-mixed, ready-to-drink form, packaged in 250ml cans. "The development of Bombay Sapphire & Tonic took time for good reason, as we know our consumers expect only the very best from us and we are extremely proud to say that we’ve created a ready-to-drink befitting to the Bombay Sapphire name in terms of taste, quality, craft and ingredients," says VP Victoria Morris. Naturally, it's based on their vapor-infused gin and there are no artificial flavors or colors added. The matte finish keeps the contents safe from sunlight, meaning the gin & tonic remains fresh and cold for longer ― perfect for a BBQ in the sun.

About Bombay Sapphire
Bombay Sapphire's roots go back to 1761 when Thomas Dakin set out to build a gin distillery at a freshly-purchased site in Warrington, England. The family kept perfecting the recipe of their Warrington Gin, acquiring a copper still in 1831 and adapting it for vapor infusion, the artisanal process that captures the botanicals, aromas and flavors in vapor ― the same distillation process used by Bombay Sapphire today. After changing hands a couple of times, the distillery along with the recipe was relaunched in 1986, bringing the Warrington Gin recipe into modern times as Bombay Sapphire, a hugely influential brand that played a major role in the spirit's surge of popularity.
Laverstoke Mill is as a historic building as they come, with the earliest written record of a mill at the location dating back to 1086. Having been owned by William the Conqueror and Henry VIII, the site has seen 4 royal visits in its rich history. In 1719 the mill was leased by printer Henry Portal and used for the manufacture of banknotes throughout the reign of Queen Victoria. During this time, several expansions were carried out in order to increase production. It was in 2010 that Bombay Spirits Company purchased Laverstoke Mill, opening the distillery doors to the public in 2014.
About Cocktails
The history of cocktails dates back to the not-so-good days of prohibition when people started to mix drinks trying to make the homemade or bootlegged liquor drinkable.
But things have changed since then, and cocktails have become increasingly popular with modern pop culture, from classics like Martini, Old Fashioned, or Negroni, to the more festive versions like Margaritas and Mojitos becoming staples in most bars.
