Why should kids get to have all the fun? If chocolate isn’t cutting it this year, treat yourself to an adult advent calendar. And by that, we mean boozy.
From flavoured gins to premium whiskies, here is our pick of the best alcohol advent calendars you can still buy before the start of December.
12 Gins of Christmas Advent Calendar
At The Boutique Handbook we are big fans of LoneWolf gin, especially their Cactus and Lime flavour – so this is the calendar we were most excited about this year.
Created by BrewDog, it is the first time the company have launched a gin calendar. Although it’s a 12 days version, each door unveils a double shot bottle so you won’t feel shortchanged.
Expect flavours such as Cloudy Lemon, White Peach, Fig and Apricot, Peppercorn and Christmas Spice. Did we mention you must try the Cactus and Lime Gin…
