Gin gift guide: Everything your favorite drink enthusiast needs to craft the perfect cocktail
Gin

When it comes to refreshing cocktails, it’s difficult to beat the timeless appeal of a well-made gin & tonic. We all know that it really shines on a warm summer night. But it’s the kind of drink that’s so fresh and loaded with herbal, botanical, and citrus flavors that even drinking it during the colder months seems to transport you to the hazy days of summer, if only for a moment.

And while we can thank the tonic and lime for that, it’s really the gin that does most of the heavy lifting. If you have a great gin, your gin & tonic is likely to be crisp, refreshing, and memorable.

Whiskey gift guide: Give the present everyone wants this year

While we’re not going to be mad if someone gives us a comfy sweater or a winter hat this or any holiday season, we always prefer to receive (and give) gifts in the form of alcohol. It’s not just the fact that we have a closet full of multi-colored winter hats and more winter sweaters than we’ll ever wear, but the holidays take place as the weather begins to grow colder and the days get ever shorter. Instead of clothes and headwear, we’d prefer the warm feeling of booze. Specifically, whiskey.

But we don’t just love bourbon, rye whiskey, single malt Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, and whiskey from the rest of the world; we also love to gift (and receive) whiskey-related gifts. Bottles of long-aged whiskey, mixers, coasters, and other unique gifts, we love them all.
