Review

I think it really depends on your preference. Bombay Sapphire Sunset has a strong fragrance and robust flavors. If you are wondering whether it tastes the same when mixed with tonic, then no. I found it harder to define the taste because it includes golden turmeric, Indian white cardamom, and Spanish mandarin, which create a spicier feel. When drinking it straight, I noticed the warmth and spices it offers. When mixed with tonic, it gives the drink a twist, with a slightly stronger flavor than the original Bombay Sapphire. The aroma is pleasant. In the end, I prefer the original Gin and Tonic. For now, I will keep my review as neutral until I try the other cocktail suggestions.
