We may have just found the perfect drink to sip on rooftop patios this summer, Toronto.

Bombay Sapphire has just unveiled a new gin, aptly named Bombay Sapphire Sunset, which is inspired by one of the best things about this time of year - sunsets!

This aromatic, special-edition spirit is infused with an additional three exotic botanicals — golden turmeric, Indian white cardamom, and Spanish mandarin — creating a drink that conjures the orange-tinted magic of the warm, glowing setting sun. If you ask us, it doesn't get much more summery than that.  

The gin is delicious on its own, but it's also super versatile, mixing easily into many classic Bombay cocktails. You can try it as a Sunset and Tonic, topped with an orange wheel and star anise, for a drink as stunning as it is flavorful, or enjoy it as a Sunset Negroni for a refreshing spin on a classic that's ideal for the warmer evenings.

However you choose to enjoy it, there's no better place to try it than in a sophisticated summer setting. That's why we're running through some of the best rooftop patios in Toronto, where you can sip this premium gin while soaking up scenic city views.

Margo

Margo is a hidden gem located on the fourth floor of Clio Social Club in the heart of Toronto's King West neighbourhood. Its vibrant rooftop patio draws inspiration from the Mediterranean Coastline. Picture lush greenery, a bright open space, and an ambience that captures the magic of the Amalfi Coast.

With a luxurious yet relaxed setting, it's the perfect place to escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.

This summer, Margo will be hosting its SUNDAY SOLIS every week. Spanning from sunrise to sunset, this fun experience will feature brunch, sun-soaked afternoons with live music, dinner, and the ambient Sunset Lounge presented by Bombay Sapphire Sunset.

Guests will get to indulge in four exciting gin cocktails, including Golden Hour, which features Bombay Sunset, Prosecco, and lemon — a combination that promises to delight your senses.

Harriet's

For some of the most expansive views of the vibrant Toronto skyline there is, head to Harriet’s Rooftop at 1 Hotel Toronto.

Decorated with warm, nature-inspired hues and lit up by glowing string lights, this rooftop has the vibe of an old-fashioned cocktail lounge. The atmosphere is both lively and cozy, making it the perfect place to unwind on a summer evening and reconnect with friends.

Stand-out gin cocktails here include Harriet's Twilight, Italian bitter liqueur, a combination of Bombay Sunset, grapefruit, lemon, and egg white rhubarb bitter, which you can enjoy alongside a range of light bites made from seasonal ingredients.

Valerie

Valerie Toronto is well known for its thoughtful mixology, making it one of the best places to try the different creations possible with Bombay Sapphire Sunset.

Located on the top three floors of Hotel X, Valerie offers a unique vibe inspired by the energetic spirit of the roaring '20s, all within a sleek, modern setting.

On the two lower levels, you'll be met with lush velvet seats, large windows, and opulent decor, creating an air of sophistication and charm. And on the rooftop patio, you'll find verdant greenery, comfortable patio furniture, and stunning city and skyline views.

This is the perfect spot to unwind and take in the sights as you sip on a Sunset Negroni which features Bombay Sapphire Sunset, Martini Rosso sweet vermouth, and Italian bitter liqueur. Pair your cocktail with Valerie's fresh and creative sushi-style menu for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Kōst

Sitting 44 storeys above Toronto’s bustling entertainment district is Bisha Hotel’s dynamic rooftop bar and restaurant, Kōst.

Kost draws inspiration from the Baja Peninsula; once you step inside this bright, open-air terrace, you'll feel like you've been whisked away to the California coastline. Here, you can enjoy fine yet relaxed dining (al fresco style, of course), check out its world-renowned infinity pool, and bask in sweeping views of city skyscrapers and Lake Ontario.

Standout gin cocktails here include the Kost Kollins — showcasing Bombay Sunset mixed with lemon soda for a light and refreshing treat.
