History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2020 by the team at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, this cocktail's name was inspired by Keïla Urzaiz de Calignon, an accomplished bartender who's also the talented artist who designed the tote bag that accompanied this cocktail when sold as a bundle.
Keïla was inspired to make this water collage by focusing on the drink itself and using only the three primary colours blue, red and yellow. Instead of painting the drink, she painted four sheets of paper using the primary colours, blending yellow and blue to make green, and using different proportions of pigments and water to create irregular shades of each colour. She then cut and assembled the pieces to form the shape of the cocktail.
Review:
A G&T with artistic flourishes adding delicate elderflower floral and berry notes.
