Lockdown is currently preventing many of us from spending birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations with family and friends, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat your nearest and dearest to something special. Here, we look at some great ideas for gin lovers:
Tasting sensations
With so many varieties available today, gin drinkers are spoilt for choice, so a tasting set is a great idea. The Opihr Regional Edition offers a combination of spicy gins from around the world. The set includes Far East Edition, the Arabian Edition and the European Edition. The Masons Taste Experience, on the other hand, introduces the drinker to Yorkshire’s first gin distillery, and some of the exciting new flavours of Orange and Lime Leaf, Pear and Pink Peppercorn and English Lavender.
Essential accessories
No bar would be complete without a white neon Gin Bar sign or an essential gin recipe book, such as Sipsmith’s Sip: 100 Gin Cocktails with Only 3 Ingredients. This is the chance to try more than the humble gin and tonic, with cocktails such as a Gin Espresso Martini or a Dark Fruit Bramble. Meanwhile, to serve the perfect gin cocktail, a Jigger and Spoon Set will help to keep you on track.
Keep it personalised
Nothing is more special than a personalised gift, and gin lovers will be delighted with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Bramble Edition with their name on it. This is an extra fruity gin full of berry flavours and notes of juniper. Team it with a beautiful engraved gin glass for an extra special gift.
