As we’re approaching Christmastime, it’s time to start stressing over what booze to bring to the family or friends’ Christmas dinners – and mulled wine, eggnog or an uninspiring four-pack of lager might start to become a little predictable…
Here we’ve put together a list of unique, seasonal Christmas alcohol to spice up your celebrations – from full-bodied festive beers to delicious chocolate spirits!
Winter Seasonal Limited Edition Cranberry & Pomegranate Gin
Sheffield Distillery have introduced their final Limited Edition Cranberry & Pomegranate gin for the winter season. Curated with dried cranberries and pomegranate seeds, presenting a sweet, floral taste with a touch of acidity. Handmade by 5 spirit lovers in Chapeltown, Sheffield with the aim to create “an exquisite & unique syrupy mouthfeel”. They nailed it.
Farmers Belgian Blue
Bradfield Brewery have launched their famous Farmers Belgian Blue beer available on tap at any seld-respecting local or online at bradfieldbrewery.com. With a smooth taste and Christmas berry overtones, it’ll definitely help you slip into the festive spirit.
Raspberry & Cardamom Sir Robin of Locksley Gin
If you’re tired of lousy pink gins with unneeded artificial flavours and colourants, Locksley Distilling Co. are the answer to your prayers! They are promoting their Limited-Edition Raspberry & Cardamom Sir Robin of Locksley Gin as the complete opposite to this. Using 30 raspberries and a separate distillate of cardamom, they present an authentic, complex fruity flavour and with a light filtration, fruit particles make it through to the end result.
Bullion Chocolate Bullirum
Nothing screams Christmas more than a warm chocolate beverage, and the Bullion Chocolate Bullirum Cocoa Nib Liqueur is just that! With rich caramel, subtle cocoa undertones and no artificial flavours, this drink is perfect on its own or mixed into an espresso martini and, if you’re gifting, there is gift wrap, personalised notes and the option to turn it into an Espresso Martini Kit Upgrade.
Christmas Globe Gin Liqueur
Just take a look at this beauty – Christmas in a globe! This indulgent spiced orange and cranberry flavour uses Seville orang and features edible 23kt gold leaf, all coming in lovely light-up bottle perfect for adding a bit of festivity to your drinks cabinet.
