History

Gin and tonic embellished with elderflower for delicate floral and berry notes.

This cocktail's name, created in 2020 by the team at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, was inspired by Keïla Urzaiz de Calignon. She is an accomplished bartender and the artist who designed the tote bag that accompanied this cocktail when sold as a bundle. Keïla focused on the drink itself and used only the three primary colors blue, red, and yellow for her water collage. Instead of painting the drink, she painted four sheets of paper using the primary colors, blending yellow and blue to make green, and using different proportions of pigments and water to create irregular shades of each color. She then cut and assembled the pieces to form the shape of the cocktail.
