Delicious Gifts for 2022!
Christmas gifts need to have impact; be welcomed by the recipients; and be different to make you stand out from the crowd.
Tequila is the fashionable new tipple and so consider two of the best tequila brands on your Christmas shopping list this year – Rooster Rojo Tequila, with its classic, embossed bottled featuring a red rooster and KAH, distinctive for its Day of the Dead skull design Whilst you’re about it, better add an extra bottle or two for home entertaining as well as wrapping. Twists on classic cocktails are also popular, so for Christmas and New Year we are recommending a very unusual lychee liqueur to make your cocktails or after dinner drinks deliciously memorable. And finally, Santa is delivering to the adults on your list a European vodka that is the perfect base for any vodka cocktail.
First up is Rooster Rojo Tequila. There are four variations: Blanco, Reposado, Anejo and Smoked Pineapple Anejo. These premium spirits (38% ABV), made in no less a place than Tequila itself, are handcrafted from agave plants grown in fields owned by the drinks experts who hand-craft this fine spirit. Like all good 100% blue agave tequilas, Rooster Rojo is made for sipping, not slamming in shots. It was given the accolade earlier this year of being chosen by Good Housekeeping as one of the top tequilas for 2022, with its Reposado being selected as the ‘best value’ in its category. Priced from around £25.
There’s another tequila on the festive shopping list this year: KAH Tequila. Recognisable for its death skull motif, this super-premium collection of spirits makes for superb gifts. These are tequilas that aficionados take seriously and which those relatively new to tequila are sure to enjoy too. It is an exceptionally sophisticated range of tequilas whose packaging is stunning to look at. There are three in the range: Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo. Prices start at around £35.
Next, we bring you Kwai Feh Lychee Liqueur. Christmas is when fresh lychees are in store, so this is a fabulous seasonal ingredient. Add it to foods, such as a fruit salad with fresh lychee fruits, or mix in cocktails. Alternatively, just sip this after dinner, neat or on the rocks. Pink, pretty, and delectable, this fruit-filled liqueur is delicious in a lychee martini or just served simply with lemonade. Priced at around £22.
Finally, for the vodka lovers in your life, here’s the real thing. Moskovskaya (38% ABV), known as ‘Mosko’ by those in the know, is made to a traditional recipe and is 100% European vodka with all ingredients sourced in the EU. So, if those you’re treating love vodka, this Latvian-made spirit should definitely be on your shopping list. It is priced at around £17.
