Growing tired of your happy hours? Wanting a taste of the cocktail bars once again?
Bombay Sapphire wants to reignite your flame for an expertly-made cocktail.While they can’t currently host their masterclasses in person under Auckland’s current alert levels, they’ve reworked their amazing tutorials into a neatly packaged Stir Creativity Masterclass Kit, sent straight to your home.
As we all know, it’s simply not a kiwi summer without some refreshing drinks, which is why Bombay Sapphire wants to help you keep some crowd-pleasing recipes up your sleeve.
The Stir Creativity Masterclass Kits are available at 3 different skill levels: the beginner, intermediate, and advanced cocktail maker. Select your comfort level and let Bombay Sapphire take care of everything you need to nail your new signature drink.
The beginner’s box is ideal for the pre-dinner mingle, a light refreshment to serve your guests as they walk in. This box has you making Bramble Apple and Elderflower Punch. Throughout this masterclass, you’ll learn how to make simple syrups to be used across a wide range of future cocktails, as well as recipes for Red Snapper Punch and Summer Punch.
The intermediate box is for those feeling slightly more experienced in the bartending sphere. With this Stir Creativity box, you’ll be taught how to create Berry Spritz – perfect for the main meal tipple. You’ll already know your way around a cocktail shaker, and with this kit, you’ll be introduced to the fermentation process to infuse your drinks. Alongside a guided step-by-step to the Berry Spritz, this kit also includes recipes for a Coffee Infused Negroni and a Rosemary & Lemon Martini.
The final box is for those looking to perfect and extend their already familiar bartending knowledge. This kit will take you through creating your own clarified basil smash cocktail, ideal as an after-dinner refreshment. We guarantee this will be unlike any other cocktail you’ve created before, using agar agar, fresh basil, gin, and lemon to create an otherworldly clarified drink. The advanced kit will also include a recipe to create a Banana Gin Milk cocktail.
Each kit contains almost everything you need to recreate Bombay Sapphire’s cocktails in your own kitchen. All you need to do is place your order and get creating in the kitchen on delivery day.
The kits are designed for two and start from $60, including cocktail ingredients, equipment needed for cocktail making, and recipe cards to provide future inspiration.
While they may not be able to host in-person classes just yet, Bombay Sapphire will also be running their Stir Creativity virtual classes weekly for you to pop in and follow along, or ask any questions you may have so you can really nail those recipes.
Following on from the ultimate success of their previous Stir Creativity kits in February, we have no doubt these will be snapped up quickly in a similar fashion. The kits are available from today until sold out. It’s time to get creative!
