TONIC CHRISTMAS GIFT LIST

Yes, the most wonderful time of the year is almost upon us. What's not so wonderful is trying to choose a gift for the fussiest of friends and family members. Not to worry, we've got you covered with the perfect list of drinks-related prezzies.

TONIC MAGAZINE

We'll start with, well, us, of course. TONIC is the perfect gift for anyone who loves stories about drinks, the places they're enjoyed and the people behind them, all wrapped up in beautiful design and printed on quality paper.

MASTER OF MALT ADVENT CALENDAR

To be honest, this one is actually for you. Why? Because you deserve it. In the run-up to Christmas, you'll find 25 x 30ml bottles of some of the finest drinks around, perfect for sipping as you wrap presents and settle down to watch Moonraker because nothing says Christmas quite like a little Bond and a dram.

KYRÖ DAIRY CREAM LIQUEUR

Cream liqueur is a must in my house at Christmas, and this is the best of the bunch. Made with Finnish cream and Kyrö's rye whisky, it's outstanding on its own, over ice or, better still, poured over ice cream.

Delicious.

CINEMATIC COCKTAILS

If you know someone who's into films and cocktails, this book is for them. Cinematic Cocktails features 65 cocktails inspired by some of cinema's greatest moments and characters.

Written by Matt Looker, who has 20 years' experience working as a film and TV journalist, with features and reviews for magazines and websites including Total Film and SFX, this book is as fun as it is informative. The perfect gift for anyone who likes their cocktails shaken with a little silver-screen nostalgia.

MOTH COCKTAIL CRACKERS

Out with paper hats, jokes that make no sense, trivia and charades, and in with tasty canned cocktails. Each cracker contains one of six MOTH cocktails: Espresso Martini, Mango Margarita, Strawberry Daiquiri, Negroni, Mojito and Margarita.

Only joking. Each cracker also contains jokes, trivia and charades. It wouldn't be Christmas without them, would it?

NO.3 LONDON DRY GIN TINY MARTINI GIFT PACK

Let's be honest, there's always someone you know who loves gin, so this gift is perfect. No.3 is the only gin to have been named World's Best Gin four times. It was created by Berry Bros. & Rudd, Britain's oldest wine and spirits merchant, founded in 1698 at No. 3 St James's Street, London, where it still trades today.

The gin takes its name from the address, and the key on the front of the bottle was modelled on the key to The Parlour, a historic room inside the shop. Share those little-known facts with the lucky person you're gifting it to, and you can spend the rest of the day feeling like you've just won Mastermind.

FUTURE CHÂTEAU AND EARL OF EAST BOXSET

The older I get, the more I look forward to underwear and a nice-smelling candle for Christmas.

Low-alcohol wine brand Future Château has teamed up with London-based fragrance brand Earl of East to bring us the perfect wine-and-candle combo. All you need now is a copy of TONIC to while away those winter nights.
