Bombay Sapphire: Stir Creativity Labs

We are all born creative, but all too often everyday life chips away at that instinct. This February, New Zealand’s number one premium gin brand, Bombay Sapphire, is helping the nation stir its creativity again.

The must-have experience of the summer, the Creativity Lab allows guests to unleash their imagination in the comfort of their own home with a curated workshop from one of four local creators.

The Creativity Labs are a collection of at-home, online experiences hosted by talented New Zealand based artists Rosie Holt, Jess Mentis, Helen Emmett and Olivia Dobrowolski. Each Lab is curated to allow guests to showcase their talent, explore and experiment whilst sipping on their own cocktail creation. Bombay Sapphire’s smooth gin provides the perfect canvas for cocktails as guests can discover their possibilities within.

Crafted to provide a perfect pastime with family or friends, after purchasing a lab kit for their chosen experience, guests will receive supplies for two, giving them the opportunity to explore their own creative streak at home.

These kits, developed between expert mixologists and each of the four talented local creators, contain all the required elements to engage in the chosen craft from the comfort of their own home, with each experience streamed for live participation. Guests will also utilise the ingredients included to create a bespoke Bombay Sapphire cocktail, inspired by each craft.

Immerse yourself in a Perfume Playground -
Ignite the senses as experienced perfumier, Rosie Holt, guides the group through the botanical landscape of blending their own scent. Guests will learn how to smell and pair ingredients, all while creating their own perfumed cocktail garnish.
