How to create a Lavender SAPPHIRE Collins

Summer 2009 is all about the Sapphire Collins. A twist on the beloved Tom Collins the Sapphire Collins is ready to hit the beaches, urban roof-decks and pool parties in full force this summer.

The Sapphire Collins truly represents old-world class, quality and sophistication with a chic modern twist and is the perfect libation to sip in warm weather.

The bubbly club soda tickles the palate; the tart, yet succulent fresh lemon juice along with the tangy, sweet simple syrup and muddled fruit integrated with the 10 botanicals of Bombay Sapphire, make for a tantalizing summer sipping creation.

This version is feminine, floral and fabulous for summer.
