Tennis with Bombay Sapphire

The 2011 Sony Ericsson Open was one of the best Open’s ever on Key Biscayne concluding with an epic men’s final between the world’s greatest players, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

The tennis filled two weeks featured many exciting events and SocialMiami was fortunate to spend a day with Bombay Sapphire, a sponsor of the Sony Ericsson Open. From the Bombay Lounge where our own Sarah Arison emceed a mix-off that pitted the men’s doubles team of Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau against each other while celebrity judge Cristi Rice sampled their Bombay Sapphire inspired concoctions, to the stadium court suite for a chic nighttime session, SocialMiami was there one cocktail at a time.
