In the holiday season, many of us are looking for that perfect gift for that special someone. It can be difficult to find the perfect present. Selecting a Christmas drink is a thoughtful way to say “I was thinking about you” to somebody on your Christmas list. Spoil them with something special to let them know you care! In this Christmas Drinks Gift Guide, I will present you with some of the best Christmas drinks for an amazing Christmas!

Christmas Champagne

It’s so important to get the Christmas champers right! Having a decent bottle of bubbles will mean you can celebrate this special day in style. To really add the wow factor why don’t you get your Christmas Champagne personalised?

The Champagne from Say It With Champers comes with a twist as you can customise with your own labels in whichever way you see fit to make your champagne gift truly unique. Instead of saying it with an expensive bouquet of flowers or a message in a card, you can now say it with a bottle of personalised Champagne!

I have two bottles, one for Christmas Day and one for Boxing Day as I’m lucky enough to be a guest on both days – no cooking for me!! Both labels have a different festive design making it the perfect drink over the Christmas period.

And don’t worry about quality. The Champagne is full of character, combining light, fresh, citrus fruit flavours. Lively bubbles with a well-balanced tangy finish thanks to extended ageing before release. You can choose from different bubbles if you prefer though including an English Sparkling wine. Hurry, there’s a sale on right now!!!

Girls night in at Christmas

If you are having your friends over for Christmas to avoid the Covid Christmas crowds, why not treat yourself to a beautiful bottle of wine? I love love love this Rosarò negroamaro rosato from Independent Wine.

Only 6,000 bottles of this Rosarò are produced per year. It’s made from Negroamaro grapes grown on 50-year old vines near Guagnano, in southern Puglia. This unique wine offers a much higher flavour concentration than a typical rosé – you can almost sense aromas of Negroamaro rosso in the glass.

It’s beautiful bright pink colour with orange hues in the glass, will impress your friends. It tastes amazing too. Pronounced aromas of raspberry, cranberry and blood orange, with a touch of fresh juniper bitterness and a hint of saltiness from the sea breezes. In the mouth, the wine is dry, with a high level of refreshing acidity, medium body and a slightly oily texture. This is an unusually rich and flavoursome rosé, with lots going on. Serve lightly chilled.

At just £14.99 it’s cheaper than what you would pay in a bar and much more impressive too!

Festive Flavours

Oranges at Christmas are said to represent a gift of gold from Saint Nicholas. So what better drink to enjoy on Christmas-Eve whilst waiting for Santa to arrive than Saint Clement Land of Saints Organic Gin?

Gin lovers delight

Are you looking for an exceptional Christmas gift for gin lovers? Well look no further. I have two great gins for you!

Terlingham Bacchus Dry Gin

The Terlingham Bacchus Dry Gin uses award-winning Bacchus wine as the “magic ingredient”. Small batch and hand-made with love, Terlingham have partnered with Rebel Distillers, who have helped them source botanicals that reflect both Terlingham Vineyard, and also Folkestone, where Terlingham Vineyard is located.Inspired by their wines, this is a classic dry gin.

The flavour starts with traditional juniper, followed by some locally found botanicals – rhubarb and nettle. Their award-winning Bacchus wine gives the gin a unique and delicate sweetness, with notes of elderflower. Then fresh lime and orange peel with a touch of honey in the distillation finishes it off perfectly. The result is a beautiful gin which I garnished with fresh mint and cucumber. It tastes delicious and makes a perfect gift this Christmas. 

What’s more it comes beautifully presented, wrapped in tissue paper with a gorgeous label, to add those final finishing touches to the perfect Christmas gift.

Mermaid Gin

Hand-crafted on the Isle of Wight using ten ethically sourced botanicals, Mermaid Gin delivers a smooth yet complex blend of fresh organic lemon zest and peppery grains of paradise, with a hint of sea air from locally foraged, fragrant rock samphire. A refreshing and invigorating serve, and perfect for Christmas Coktails!

Stocking filler

These gorgeous small Batch Premium gins from Ellis Gin make the perfect gift from Santa and will help fill the stocking nicely!

Distilled in Glasgow, these gins were designed to bring fun, colour and great taste to the gin market. The small gift box makes a fabulous stocking filler for any gin loving ladies in your life.

Naturally coloured and flavoured, the fun comes from two of the gins changing colour when the mixer is added and a mesmerising shimmer being present in the Pink gin. As for the Lemon Gin- well that brings you some winter sunshine in a glass!

This makes such a fun Christmas gift and what’s more you will be supporting a small business too! Ellis Gin has just been awarded a place on the Small Business Saturday #smallbiz100 2021 list.
