A whole lot fun was had in Tuscany, Italy, recently when Matto Vanzi of Italy was crowned the winner of the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® World’s Most Imaginative Bartender competition.
Matteo Vanzi took home the top honours at the global final in Tuscany, Italy, which saw him compete against professional bartenders from around the world for the accolade and prestigious prize. The world’s fastest-growing gin brand by volume and value challenged the competitors to create a cocktail inspired by Tuscany, the home of the juniper berries, which lies at the heart of Bombay Sapphire gin.
His cocktail called The Pastorini (Perfect Lady) was a twist on the classic white lady, using a recipe of Bombay Sapphire gin, a homemade shrub of a light jasmine green tea and pink grapefruit peel infusion and a juniper berry meringue setting him berries ahead from the rest of the pack.

Sounds divine to me and seems like everyone had a ball during the 4 day event. Wish I was there to experience the fun in Tuscany, one of my most desired places to visit but alas, Bombay has been kind enough to share the experience with us online and the actual winning recipe. I think I’ll try my cocktail waitress skills tonight!
