Overview
However you're beating the heat this summer, one thing's for sure: the only way to start is with a good, cooling gin. Every Thursday to Sunday from March 2-12, head down to Bombay Sapphire's open-air pop-up garden bar at the Botanic Garden Restaurant and cool down with a cocktail.
The Bombay Sapphire pop-up bar coincides with the brand's magical, multi-sensory, drinking and dining experience, Project Botanicals. Project Botanicals is a sit-down dinner where guests are treated to two gin-inspired cocktails and two matching dishes by Botanic Garden Restaurant head chef Matt Fletcher. One moment you'll be sampling cocoa-ash crusted kangaroo carpaccio alongside the Paradise Lost cocktail. The next, you'll be treated to confit pork belly, honey caramel, pink grapefruit and fennel paired with the Orris Root Floradora.
Tickets to Project Botanicals are very nearly sold out, but if you miss out, head down to the Botanics Gardens Restaurant anyway and sample the same gin-inspired cocktails at the pop-up bar. Cocktails are made by Sydney bartenders from The Barber Shop, The Rook and 360 among others. Perhaps take some food along and have a picturesque picnic by the harbour?
The pop-up bar is open Thursday to Saturday from 4pm - 10pm, and on Sunday from 2pm - 9pm. Head here for tickets to the Project Botanicals sit-down dinner.
