Capture the moment with Bombay Holiday Collins.

The Bombay Holiday Collins could be the touch of holiday sparkle that everyone needs this year. Even though the traditional large-scale gatherings are modified, capturing those special moments and memories are even more important. This year, it is time to sip and snap.

Recently, Bombay Sapphire Gin partnered with Ravie B to create an amazing holiday cocktail kit available on Cocktail Courier. In addition to all the ingredients to make a Bombay Holiday Collins, the curated kit speaks to the importance of capturing the moment.

While the normal person might not have an impeccable eye like Ravie B, a memorable photo is quite possible. Whether that cocktail sparks some creativity or you just want to try something different, taking a moment to capture a photograph can be inspiring.

Although professional photographers take much time crafting their art, the regular person can experiment. From using a smart phone going old school with a polaroid camera, that idea of seeing something similar in a different way can be exciting.

This cocktail kit inspires that creativity. From seeing the normal in a different way to making the holiday special, that image evokes a feeling. Isn’t that why photographs are so important?

Since the holidays are a perfect time to sip and snap that moment, Bombay Sapphire has shared its Bombay Holiday Collins. The cocktail is simple, yet flavorful. Whether drunk as an apertif or served with a meal, it will add some sparkle to your holiday season.
