A Modern Take on Wedding Traditions with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE

As couples prepare for the joyous wedding season ahead, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® Gin is redefining what it means to incorporate the tradition of 'something blue' into their celebrations. This summer, the iconic gin is not just a drink choice but a stylish statement piece that enhances the overall wedding experience.

The inspiration behind this transformation lies in the familiar customs of weddings, particularly the saying: "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is making that last element—the 'something blue'—stand out not just as a charming detail, but as a centerpiece of celebration through exquisite cocktails that promise to captivate.

Highlighting Favorite Cocktails

This year, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE aims to elevate two standout cocktails that have gained popularity among couples planning their weddings and related festivities: the French Blonde and the Sapphire 75.

The French Blonde

The French Blonde has emerged as a trending cocktail for various events such as engagement parties, bridal showers, and wedding weekends. This chic concoction combines BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Gin, ST-GERMAIN® Elderflower Liqueur, MARTINI® Vermouth, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, and a dash of lemon bitters. Known for its perfect blend of vibrant citrus and subtle floral notes, the French Blonde has become a go-to drink for celebrations, radiating a sense of elegance and sophistication.

The Sapphire 75

For those seeking an elevated refreshment, the Sapphire 75 offers a modern interpretation of the classic French 75 cocktail. Blending together BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Gin, MARTINI® Prosecco, lemon juice, and a touch of blue spirulina, this cocktail showcases a striking sapphire blue hue and is presented in a flute glass—making it not only a delicious drink but also a visual delight that fits perfectly into the wedding aesthetic.

Crafting a Memorable Experience

Tara King, Senior Director of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, eloquently stated that the connection to 'something blue' feels natural for the brand and its signature bottle. With the French Blonde being served at bridal showers and the Sapphire 75 shared during toasts at weddings, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE feels privileged to play a role in creating these cherished moments.

To further engage couples during this enchanting season, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE has teamed up with Cocktail Courier and the Little Words Project® to present the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE French Blonde Cocktail Kit.
