Bombay Sapphire Presents the Imagination Installation
UJ subscribers were amongst the lucky first few to check out Bombay Sapphire’s sparkling Imagination Installation on Tuesday night; a multidimensional, Swarovski-adorned piece of art representing the top-tier gin’s ten botanical ingredients. Luckily the good stuff wasn’t all hung to the wall and the theme of imagination stretched its legs as guests sipped creative cocktails to match. We loved the martini served with candyfloss, the ‘Perfectly Poised’ twist on the classic Collins created with the aid of soda fountains, and the ‘African Haze’ bramble variant which appeared in a haze of dry ice. Gazpacho, Miso Soup and Red Thai Curry were served in shot glasses whilst bowls of multicoloured popcorn circulated, and like locusts we descended on lollipops, macaroons and salted caramel cubes served on sticks. The only thing they hadn’t invented was a cure for the following morning’s headaches.
