THE BOMBAY SAPPHIRE BLUE ROOMS OPENS AT ZENNA BAR IN HONOR OF WORLD GIN DAY

The Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms at Zenna Bar in Soho offers an imaginative retreat during the summer

In celebration of World Gin Day, BOMBAY SAPPHIRE®, the world’s number one premium gin by value for a third consecutive year, today opens its Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms in Soho, London and begins its guest residency at luxury Indian cocktail bar ZENNA Bar (zenna-bar.co.uk), 77 Dean Street,  London, W1D 3SH.

Launching on World Gin Day, Londoners and visitors alike are welcome to experience the imaginative world of Bombay Sapphire and escape the energy of central London by retreating to the Zenna Bar throughout the summer until 9th September.

Bombay Sapphire UK Brand Ambassador Sam Carter says: “London is such a busy city and with the dynamic summer ahead, the Bombay Sapphire team wanted to offer everyone a space to escape from it all, even for just one afternoon or evening. The Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms at Zenna Bar is the perfect retreat to pause, reflect and rejuvenate with a refreshing, imaginative cocktail.”

Visitors to the Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms at Zenna Bar can choose from a menu of exclusive cocktails available, a few of which include the Summer Sapphire Sour, a floral flavored cocktail with a a lovely luxurious creamy texture which tickles the senses, the sophisticated Sambra Sapphire, a twist on the classic ‘Bucks Fizz’ and the legendary Bombay Sapphire Aviation.

Partnering with award winning mixologist Dan Thomson, who heads up Zenna Bar, the Bombay Sapphire team also worked with two ‘imagineers’ to bring the Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms at Zenna Bar to life. Designer Ross Hancock, Esquire Magazine’s ‘Best Dressed Man 2010’ and ‘Project Catwalk’ Season 3 Finalist, was brought on board to dress the space and create custom made shirts for the bar staff. Artist Jari Kutasi was commissioned to design an imaginative video collage piece that provides a focal point in the venue.

Ross Hancock comments: “Keeping in line with Bombay Sapphire gin’s clean understated elegance of Bombay Sapphire and Zenna Bar’s relaxed cool attire, we’ve worked to bring the two together, creating something cool and sophisticated that is also rich, colourful and stylish. The shirts we’ve designed are simply an extension of this, which adds to the overall look and feel. Expect an Eastern influence and a touch of east London when you step into the Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms this month.”

Jari Kutasi comments: “The story of my inspiration for the piece starts in the heart of India, Bombay. Adopting a new art form, ‘collage-borrowing,’ I collected footage from across the Internet, referencing images and locations that best represented Bombay Sapphire and the imaginative journey.”

Throughout the summer, the pop-up bar will also be used as a venue to host UK and international trade media and consumers, with monthly master classes featuring the “Bombay Sapphire Imaginarium and Flavour Experience,” as well as brand inductions and cocktail competitions.

“The Bombay Sapphire Blue Rooms at Zenna serves the spiritual home of Bombay Sapphire and showcases the imaginative quality of the brand in a tangible way. We look forward to welcoming the public this summer – from locals to visitors from afar – and hope that everyone who visits can unwind in the inspired atmosphere we’ve created,” says Emma Johansson, Bombay Sapphire Global Marketing Manager.
