Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day celebrations are only a month away! If you’re looking for a holiday cocktail gift for the occasion, we have pulled together a few gift ideas below. Speaking of cocktails, you’ll find three corresponding cocktails recipes below. Enjoy!

Our purest expression of Bayou Rum imparts a fresh, vibrant taste and aroma for a multi-layered flavor experience. Rests for up to 40 days to allow the crisp, clean flavors to mellow and combine. The pot still rum adds a delicate complexity rare in white rums. Bayou Rum is proofed with triple filtered fresh local water, delivering the cleanest and purest taste. Bayou White Rum makes for a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift due to its clean flavor profile and adaptability to work in many types of cocktails. At only $22, its a great price point as well.

 

Nothing screams Valentine’s Day like the color pink! That’s where Rhubarb and Ginger Gin makes for a sweet gift for someone special in your life. Inspired by Edinburgh Gin’s original Rhubarb & Ginger Liqueur, Rhubarb & Ginger Gin is a fuller bodied version of this pioneering flavour combination. Not only that, Rhubarb & Ginger Gin has one of the best line ups of pink cocktails, the perfect companion for Valentine’s Day.

  

Another delicious and refreshing gin hailing from the Irish coastal village of Clonakilty. This expression is crisp and dry with fresh n’ fruity, zesty, and later the Rock Samphire from local cliffs becomes obvious with some green fennel-like notes. The finish is slightly salty with red peppercorn. Minke Gin is a great gift for someone special in your life this Valentine’s Day thanks to its great price point and adaptability to make a plethora of cocktails.
