Looking for some interesting drinks to serve at your holiday party, or perhaps a hostess gift that is sure to please?

Caorunn Scottish Gin with is sophisticated yet unique bottle is sure to be a hit as a hostess gift. The bottle has 5 sides, representing the 5 aromatic botanicals used in the distillation process. Distilled in small batches at the Balmenach distillery in Scotland, this gin has a clean, crisp flavor that will appeal to any gin lover.

This gin truly takes the average gin and tonic to another level. Served with a slice of apple instead of the traditional lime, this really draws out the aromatic coul blush apple. But for me, what really got me was the Apple Winter Toddy (see recipe below). As far as I am concerned there is nothing better on a cold winter night than a hot cocktail!

45ml Caorunn Gin
125 ml Apple cider
2 dashes Angostura bitters
20ml Lemon juice
2 tsp sugar or simple syrup
Optional: Dash of Port

Heat in a pan until warm and serve in a toddy glass. The perfect winter warmer!
