Available across the UK at top bars including Bob Bob Ricard and Scott’s Richmond in London; Science and Industry in Manchester; and The Dome in Edinburgh.
BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, the world’s number one premium gin, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated ‘Gin & Gelato’ – a delightfully unexpected duo designed to immerse cocktail enthusiasts in the ultimate flavours of summer.
For a limited time until the end of August, the unparalleled pairing will be exclusively featured at a selection of top bars including Bob Bob Ricard and Scott’s Richmond in London; Science and Industry in Manchester; and The Dome in Edinburgh.
It’s no secret that gelato is this summer’s must-have, with luxury fashion brands turning their hand to charming kiosks and exclusive flavours – but the latest trend sweeping the UK is the pairing of gin and gelato. With the summery flavours of the gelato pairing perfectly with the bright, vibrant notes of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE gin, it’s the unexpected flavour combination and hottest grid post of summer 2025.
Through ‘Gin & Gelato’, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE extends an invitation to gin enthusiasts to ‘Step Into the Blue’ and embark on an exploration of summer tastes. Marrying bespoke gelato – in flavours inspired directly by the ten botanicals that define BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Gin – with G&T inspired cocktails devised by some of the UK’s leading bartenders, the result is a harmonious and tantalising taste experience set to ignite the palates of Brits this summer.
Thanks to its signature 100% Vapour Infusion process, which gently unlocks and captures the natural essence of its botanicals, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE has a vibrant, versatile taste profile that defines summer cocktails.
