Bombay Sapphire has launched its new cocktail competition: Bombay Sapphire Stir Creativity Cocktail Competition.

Aimed at supporting creativity and education throughout the bartending community, this contest invites bartenders to make a cocktail headlined with a gin from Bombay Sapphire.

The winner will walk away with the inaugural Bombay Sapphire Stir Creativity Cocktail Competition trophy, $3000 prize money, an Australian Bartender Magazine cover, a pin crafted of their winning cocktail and a trip to London and the home of Bombay Sapphire - the Bombay Sapphire Laverstoke Mill is on the site of a former paper mill in the Hampshire countryside.

Corina Retter, Australia’s Bombay Sapphire Brand Ambassador, said, “The creative talent of Australian bartenders continually blows me away so I can’t wait for hospitality professionals across the country to be inspired by the world around them and craft a cocktail for the Bombay Sapphire Stir Creativity Cocktail Competition based on that inspiration. I’m so excited to see what they deliver.”

Entries are welcome to be submitted at https://stircreativitycomp.bombaysapphire.com until the competition closes at 11.59pm AEDT on Wednesday, 22 February and entrants are encouraged to be a part of the education sessions running throughout the period.
