Inception Group visit the Bombay Sapphire Distillery

By News

Inception group visited the Bombay Sapphire Distillery on Monday 16th for our annual away day. We saw some excellently motivating presentations, one in particular by our Head of Maintenance Jerry who drew an impeccably thorough – but entirely improvised – analogy between team Inception and a military ranked army.
Later we engaged in a team-building ‘egg drop’ exercise; highlighting the creativity of certain team members. (Most eggs were successful.) We then ended with a tour of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, educating ourselves on all that is required to make this incredible brand of Gin.

From The Earth to The Stars at Mr Fogg’s Residence

By News

Mr Fogg’s Residence, has become the first bar to send a cocktail into space. The cocktail (From The Earth To The Stars) will be used as bitters and available for guests to enjoy in a limited edition cocktail at the bar.

A bottle of the bitters was sent 27km above the earth’s surface to capture this photo, with the help of acclaimed food and drink scientists, Bompas & Parr, who sent the drink into space using a bespoke balloon. The bottle journeyed for 2 hours and 15 minutes with temperatures dropping as low as -57 degrees.

The bottle has now be taken on the final leg of its journey and turned into London’s most well-travelled drink, with From The Earth to The Stars, a celestial libation made with Tanqueray TEN Gin, fresh lavender, grapefruit peels, orange peel, lemon peel, fresh chamomile and angelica root. This interstellar cocktail will be both delicious and offer drinkers a unique chance to travel to infinity and beyond with just one sip.

For a chance to try this extra-terrestrial libation, come and visit us at Mr Fogg’s: https://mr-foggs.com/residence/reservations/
