In honour of World Cocktail Day we are sharing one of Bombay Sapphire’s delicious cocktail recipes.
Bombay is the backbone of the cocktail giving fresh citrus & pine on the nose, mouthfeel and a pepper tickle on the finish, grapefruit juice brings a tropical acidity, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur adds sweetness and that lychee like funky floral flavour and the Aperol adds a hint of bitterness without being overpowering.
A classically styled aperitif you won’t mind drinking anytime!
