Besides the obvious choice of a high-quality bottle of gin to be savoured, being a gin-lover opens up a world of gifting possibilities that extend beyond a drink. The botanical perfumed spirit is complex and light, while also giving the drinker a heady buzz worthy of the way it was distilled. Even so, having a few options to choose from when it comes to picking a thoughtful gift, is always a great idea for when your gin-loving friends deserve to be treated with something that is perfect for them.
Gin Subscription Box
What’s better than a delicious bottle of gin? A whole set of them of course! A gin subscription box is a fantastic gift idea for any gin enthusiast as it offers them a chance to sample something new every month and maybe even discover their next favourite. Most subscription boxes include a selection of handpicked gins, along with accompanying mixers, garnishes, and tasting notes that will help the receiver really immerse themselves in the tasting process. It's a gift that keeps on giving, allowing them to explore a variety of gin brands and styles.
Personalised Gin Glasses
Drinking spirits from the correct glass can change the aroma and flavour of the drink. But whether you’re sipping on a highball or enjoying it neat from a tumbler, it’s always nice to have an extra special touch. Get their name, a special message or even a secret message from your past engraved on the glasses to make them feel truly unique. These glasses not only add a touch of elegance to their gin rituals but also serve as a lasting reminder of your friendship they can enjoy every time they have a drink.
Gin Distillery Tour
Knowing the secrets behind the magic can be a thrilling experience for someone who’s really trying to understand their drink better. For a truly memorable gift, consider arranging a visit to a local gin distillery. Many distilleries offer guided tours that provide an inside look at the gin-making process. Your friend will have the opportunity to learn about the botanicals, distillation methods, and the history of gin, all while enjoying tastings along the way. It’s an educational and enjoyable experience that any gin lover will appreciate.
Gin & Tonic Botanicals Set
The heart of any great gin lies in its botanicals. They’re what lend flavour and identity to the spirit and you can change your experience at home with some simple additions. A basic botanical set typically includes a variety of dried botanicals such as juniper berries, cardamom pods and citrus peels. Your friend can experiment with different combinations to create their signature G&T. It’s a thoughtful gift that adds a personal touch to their gin-drinking experience.
