In honor of its 250th anniversary, Bombay gin is partnering with fellow famed British heritage brand Cunard on a new collection of cocktails featuring Bombay Sapphire. The collaboration is also timed to coincide with the birthday month of Queen Victoria, who graces the distinctive blue Bombay Sapphire bottle.

The captivating cocktails will be available aboard the Cunard liner bearing her name as well as the flagship Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth. The signature offerings include The Queen’s Bouquet, an homage to the myrtle customarily used in the royal wedding bouquet since Queen Victoria’s marriage in 1840.

This cocktail is among a few that are exclusive to Cunard Line’s Commodore Clubs, elegant lounges featuring a nod to Cunard’s maritime heritage with sweeping views over the bow. Here guests may also enjoy a Bombay Sapphire version of afternoon tea on the high seas with the Sapphire English Tea or The Middleton Fizz named for the Royal Family's newest member.

Additional royally-inspired cocktails will be available in the ships’ other bars and lounges and will feature a touch of playful lavishness. As a nod to Kate Middleton’s sapphire engagement ring, there’s The Royal Sapphire, while the Windsor Tonic is more in Prince William’s line.

With a unique combination of 10 hand-selected botanicals from around the world, Bombay Sapphire is created using a signature vapor infusion process that imparts a refined and perfectly balanced taste. Here’s a sampling of the regal recipes available exclusively in the Commodore Club:
