[LONDON – 27 NOVEMBER 2019] – BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® has teamed up with Floom to create the Bombay Sapphire Garnish Wreath; the perfect gift to encourage gin-lovers to stir their creativity this festive season. Carefully crafted by Floom’s artisan florist, the wreath features a selection of garnishes for seasonal cocktails, such as dried oranges, star anise, cinnamon and lemon wheels and comes with a 350ml bottle of the brand’s iconic gin along with a series of delectably festive cocktail recipes.

The Bombay Sapphire Garnish Wreath will be available on Floom.com from 27th November and will be delivered in a bespoke blue gift box, with a signature bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin and recipe booklet nestled in its centre. Bursting with fantastically festive flavours, the wreath is a stand-out cocktail party centre piece or makes for a magnificently original gift for even the most discerning home host.

With its balanced flavour profile, Bombay Sapphire gin is the ideal canvas for cocktail creativity, perfect for helping fans of the brand channel their inner cocktail connoisseur. Whether it’s adding a wintery twist to a classic G&T, or spicing things up with star anise and cinnamon, this must-have festive table-feature is perfect for adding a touch of creativity to your seasonal tipples.

Floom, like Bombay Sapphire, is committed to encouraging creativity by offering emerging florists a chance to profile and retail their work on the Floom platform. Each wreath is uniquely hand-crafted by a leading florist at Floom, with a seasonal fir and eucalyptus base bursting with botanicals, garnishes and florals such as blue thistles, all topped off with ‘Bombay blue’ baubles so that that even when all the garnishes have been used, you are left with a window worthy wreath.

The mini booklet provided contains a carefully curated cocktail series designed by Bombay Sapphire for the season’s celebrations. Cocktails include winter warmer ‘Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice’ to which garnishes of lemon and cinnamon can be added, ‘Green Apple and Thyme G&T’ with apple wheels and thyme giving a vibrant finish, and party favourite ‘Gin and IT Fizz’ with the suggested addition of orange and star anise. Equipped with an impressive selection of seasonal garnishes and a touch of creative inspiration, gin-lovers can enjoy endless possibilities as they experiment with one of the world’s most versatile gins and the Bombay Sapphire Garnish Wreath this holiday season.

Renaud De Bosredon, Bombay Sapphire UK Brand Ambassador says; “This wreath combines the brand’s passion for creativity with its commitment to creating exquisite-tasting, seasonal gin cocktails. The holidays are a great time to experiment with drinks and serve something special to your guests, and with these bespoke cocktails and the garnishes from the wreath itself, you’ll be well equipped to be a great host this festive season.”
