BOMBAY SAPPHIRE: Mixology in Art

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is made after a secret recipe from 1761 and is based on the perfect balance of a unique combination of ten handpicked exotic botanicals from around the world. The distillery in Laverstoke was honored with the BREEAM Award for its particularly gentle and unique distillation process of steam infusion. This process preserves the botanicals' natural aromas, giving it the fresh, tangy flavor of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE. Combined with tonic and rounded off with ice and lime, the Bombay Sapphire Gin & Tonic tastes best.

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE through its caimpagn "Stir Creativity" wants to inspire creativity by working with local artists around the world. Swiss artist Caroline Weber took inspiration from ingredients and the manufacturing process for its artwork. Her art is based on mixed media technology. In the process, digital and analogue work mixes on canva. And even with the "ingredients" used, the imagination has no limits. Whether acrylics, sprays, chalk, oxidized iron or even plants - the artist lets her creativity run wild in every way. In this collaboration she uses some of the typical ingredients of Bombay Sapphire Gin to make her artwork.

Ingredients and production

For the production of the Bombay Sapphire ten vegetable ingredients are used, so-called "Botanicals": lemon, almond, sweet wood, juniper berries, iris, Angelicao, coriander, cinnamon cassia, cubeb pepper and grains of paradise.

Bombay Sapphire Gin & Tonic

50 ml Bombay Sapphire Gin

100 ml Tonic Water

Limes

Eis cubes

Fill a balloon glass 3/4 with ice cubes. Add Bombay Sapphire Gin and squeeze a lime slice into the glass. Fill up with Tonic Water and a garnish with another lime-slice. Enjoy!

VODKA BELVEDERE and artist JANELLE MONÁE debuts with a limited edition bottle

Belvedere Vodka, the original super premium vodka, is proud to launch its beautiful limited edition bottle with Grammy nominated musician, actress and activist Janelle Monáe available in stores from September 2019.
The bottle is adorned with a multi-layered metallic collage that reveals the inner beauty and multifaceted character of Monáe and Belvedere. The slogan "Beautiful Future" refers to the vision shared by Monáe and Belvedere of a future where naturalness, integrity, diversity and self-expression are celebrated.

"A Beautiful Future" is inspired by the program launched last year when Belvedere and Monáe organized a brunch for Fem the Future, the popular movement founded by Monáe. Fem the Future is a movement dedicated to raising awareness and opportunities for women and those who identify as such through music, art, mentoring and education. Subsequently, a campaign on social networks asked consumers to define what this beautiful future looks like. The responses shared optimistic statements about diversity, self-expression, inclusion and empowerment. With a series of co-created content launched today, Monáe will read a selection of these inspiring messages, the promise of a bright future to begin now.
The Belvedere x Janelle Monáe Limited Edition is available from September 2019 at Globus, Manor and Coop
