Bombay Sapphire has added a new welcome addition to the gin family with Bombay Citron Pressé – a vibrant gin bursting with the taste of freshly-squeezed Mediterranean lemons inspired by the iconic Tom Collins cocktail.
This new gin has been created with a 100% natural fruit infusion and no added sugar, so the subtle citrusy sweetness is all-natural. It’s the perfect drop for elevating cocktails and inspiring creative twists.
Like its sister, the Bombay Bramble, this new gin showcases the finest innovation and craftsmanship. This natural expression of flavour marries the vapour-infused London Dry Gin with a complex blend of lemon infusion and juice, bringing a fresh, zesty taste to their classic gin base whilst still allowing the botanicals (and juniper) to shine through.
The bespoke blend captures the true flavour of fresh Mediterranean lemons that are harvested early in the season to capture the zestful, citrus-sour notes of the lemons at their most intense. This approach differs from the more common practice of using highly concentrated artificial flavours and colours found in other offerings on the market today.
“When crafting Bombay Citron Pressé, it was so important that only the best ingredients were used, combined with a distinct production process,” says Bombay Sapphire Master Distiller, Dr Anne Brock.
In addition to the launch of the new gin, comes a delicious new bar-quality canned cocktail; the Bombay Citrus Collins, allowing gin fans to enjoy the new flavoured gin expression wherever they are.
It’s perfect for those summertime picnics or just at home while having a BBQ with family and friends. The Citrus Collins is a bright, vibrant cocktail featuring a blend of 100% natural Mediterranean lemons with the brand’s London Dry Gin, mixed with premium soda water. It is best enjoyed over ice with a squeeze of lemon. And we can vouch for its deliciousness!
The 700ml Bombay Citron Pressé is available at Dan Murphy’s, BWS and select retailers nationally with a RRP of $65. Bombay Citrus Collins 4-pack RRP $25.99 (250ml, 5.0% ABV) will be available to purchase at Dan Murphy’s, BWS and select retailers nationally.
