The six-week pop-up at the much-loved Sanderson will provide an opportunity to embark on an immersive sensory journey in a stunning environment.
With Bombay Sapphire® botanical regions at the heart of all activity, drop by Sanderson’s renowned courtyard to try one of their unique Ultimate Gin & Tonic twists with light food pairings (menu available from 6pm daily), or further submerse yourself and sign up for a complimentary cocktail masterclass (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and stay on for a Sanderson Session (Wednesdays) to hear beats until late.
To keep things interesting, every fortnight there will be a new regional botanical focus, where a limited edition Signature Sensory Serve will be revealed. The Signature Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist will be served with an accompanying atomiser to heighten the exotic flavours within the drink. The Gin Journeys launches with a Mediterranean focus, followed by Africa and Asia.
With The Gin Journeys at Sanderson, you will travel with Bombay Sapphire® to the ends of the earth – without leaving central London.

The menu at 'The Gin Journeys' at Sanderson will always include five unique cocktails, with a limited edition sensory Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist revealed every fortnight. This extra twist will only be available for two weeks, meaning you’ll need to check back throughout the six weeks to try them all!
A floral, peppery twist on an uplifting classic
Inspired by the beautiful wild flora of northern European riverbanks, the subtle flavours of watercress and violet in this Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist create a peppery finish with fresh floral notes.
A wonderfully soft tipple with hints of bergamot and a dry finish
Evocative of warm Italian afternoons, this full-bodied sour cocktail, inspired by the beautiful region of Calabre, perfectly balances the fruity taste of peach with rich Amontillado, a fine Sherry wine.
An uplifting and evocative twist drawing on elements of both sweet and spice, typical of Javan cuisine
This invigorating Indonesian-inspired Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist combines the nutty depth of walnut bitters with beautifully balanced tamarind and carrot juices, providing energising hints of sweet and spice.
A delicately balanced creation with subtle hints of Earl Grey, inspired by Indo-China
This tempting Manhattan-style cocktail combines Martini® Bitters with Earl Grey syrup and a sweet, aromatised wine providing an unexpected yet tantalising twist inspired by the Orient.
A sweet Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist, heightened by the earthy scent of coffee
This Mediterranean inspired Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist transports the drinker to a tranquil summer’s day in southern Europe with delicate flavours of fig alongside hints of almond and orange water. The complexity is elevated by the use of an accompanying sensory coffee atomiser.
To enjoy the Sensory Signature Serve at its very best, carefully spritz the atomiser directly on to the tongue before taking a sip of this unique tipple.
A light and fresh Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist, heightened by the warm scent of ginger
This Moroccan inspired Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist is the perfect antidote to the hot hamam. Rejuvenating flavours of coriander infused Martini Rossato and coconut water uplift and restore. The experience is heightened by the use of an accompanying sensory ginger atomiser.
Stay tuned for our Asia-inspired Ultimate Gin & Tonic Twist coming September 30-October 14.

Based on a secret recipe from 1761, Bombay Sapphire® is produced by passing spirit vapour through the botanicals, which are held separately from the spirit in a perforated copper basket. This process, known as vapour infusion, allows the gentle absorption of each of the aromatic flavours, resulting in a wonderfully balanced, crisp yet delicate finish and creating a versatility unmatched by other gins. Savour it with tonic, in a classic martini cocktail, or in mixed cocktails.
The 10 botanicals that make Bombay Sapphire® so special are carefully sourced from all around the world:
Spain: Lemon Peel; Almonds
Italy: Juniper Berries (Tuscany); Oris Root
China: Liquorice
Indo-China: Cassia Bark
Morocco: Coriander Seeds
Saxony: Angelica Root
Ghana, West Africa: Grains of Paradise
Java: Cubeb Berries
