BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, the premium gin brand known for its distinctive sapphire blue bottle and vapor-infused botanical blend, is reimagining the classic wedding tradition of 'something blue' for the summer wedding season. The brand is transforming this well-known custom from a subtle personal detail into a shared celebration through signature cocktails and giftable experiences.
BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is spotlighting two cocktails that have become favorites among couples — the French Blonde and the Sapphire 75. The first expression boasts a grapefruit-forward serve made with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Gin, ST-GERMAIN Elderflower Liqueur, MARTINI Vermouth, fresh grapefruit juice, and lemon bitters. It offers a delicate balance of bright citrus and soft floral notes ideal for engagement parties and bridal showers. The Sapphire 75, on the other hand, delivers a vibrant twist on the classic French 75 that incorporates blue spirulina to give the drink a striking sapphire hue.
