Have you ever tried any of the crafted drinks based on Bombay Sapphire cocktail recipes? If you have not, then you must go to the opening of one of the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series events. The occasion is not just about art; It is also about having fun and celebrating new experiences.

Whenever there is an art event focusing on participants and winners of the Annual Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series, the company comes out in its full glory, bringing joy to guests and art aficionados.  For these party-like events, the company entertains guests with well-crafted drinks based on special Bombay Sapphire cocktail recipes.

How to Make Bombay Sapphire Cocktail Recipes

One important example is the recent opening of Darius Frank’s multi-media video installation at Dock 5 Union Market in Washington DC. Many of the drinks served at the event were based on different Bombay Sapphire cocktail recipes. From The Godfather of Go-Go: Go Go Rickey, to Major Bailey’s Bramble, and Sapphire Buck,  the Bombay Sapphire cocktail recipes were on full display.

The celebration in Washington DC was a continuation of activities in New York, when Jimmy Jenkins and Ivan Alifan, finalists in the Annual Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series, unveiled their solo shows at the Allouche Gallery. As with other events of this nature, drinks based on Bombay Sapphire cocktail recipes put guests in the mood. Crafted cocktails like Mumbai ’75 and Self-Deception set the mood for the night. For those who have not been to one of these art events, there is no need to worry.  These 5 cocktail recipes will serve you well. DRINK RESPONSIBLY
