Premium Gin & Tonic Crackers, Pack of 6, By Blue Tree Gifts

Product Information

Hidden behind each of the 24 doors, you'll find premium miniatures that the Drinks by the Dram team specially selects from all across England and the rest of the world for you to enjoy taste testing in the leadup to Christmas. They range from orange peel, nutmeg, and allspice (very Christmassy) to beetroot apple and dill, blue spruce, lemon peel and cardamom. It’s got to be said that you’ll probably be tickled pink with it especially seeing as it has maintained a superb 4. French brand Polaar has designed a set of unusual crackers created with ingredients sourced from the North Pole itself. Most gin calendars come with a selection of spirits from different artisans and brands, so they're a great way to sample new flavours or discover your new favourite gin distillery.

Each pairs a quality spirit (think: Mermaid Pink Gin, Silent Pool Gin and Ketel One Vodka) with one of their equally impressive and complex mixers. Alternatively, top crackers with sour cream, thinly sliced cucumber and cocktail or pan-seared shrimp for a simple and tasty hors d'oeuvre. You'll find a range of styles - Navy Strength, craft botanicals, sloe gin, Old Tom - to enjoy each day of the month in the lead-up to Christmas. The crackers provide a ‛bang’ when released, and can also be opened by the red ribbons at each end if you'd prefer to avoid the noise.

While they may not contain a snap, the best option for an eco-friendly alternative is a re-usable Christmas cracker.

Featuring six nifty crackers, this set is great value, particularly if you're looking to impress your guests with an array of different flavoured gins. That Boutique-y Gin Company’s premium calendar of dinky, 72ml wax-sealed gin drams has ‘early Christmas gift’ written all over it. However, the brand has said that each day will be as exciting as opening up pressies on Christmas Day itself, and it will be sharing tasting notes, cocktail recipes, and mixing tips live on social media in the countdown to Christmas. Think truffles with champagne, gin, rum, and mulled wine – plus classics such as salted caramel and even a few non-alcohol-but-Christmassy bites such as a Christmas mess, starry hazelnut supernova, and a tree-shaped 70% spruce. For those who have had quite enough of terrible jokes, that’s perfect, but it’s not the usual “silly hat” Christmas experience some might be after.Inside are 12 5cl bottles of gin boasting an assortment of flavours, including Blood Orange, Mango and Papaya, Rhubarb and Ginger, Raspberry, and much more. It is a product of soldiers stationed in India who mixed their medicinal dose of quinine water to ward off malaria with their daily ration of gin.
