Decided to #StirCreativity this week by adding in an odd vegetable into this classic cocktail. Getting creative with a cocktail requires some pen, paper and whole lot of flavour understanding! 

There have been #MillionActsOfCreativity over the years to create some delicious cocktails with #BombaySapphire and here’s my cheeky little contribution to that million. Definitely going to be making more of these in the future and if you would like to do the same - here are a few things you will need: 

- 50ml Bombay Sapphire 
- 50ml Beetroot Jucie 
- 15ml Lemon Juice
- 10ml Verjuice
- 20ml Sugar syrup 
- 1 egg white 

Wet shake | Dry shake | Garnish with dill and enjoy! 🌞
