Looking for something extra special? You'll also find a selection of premium offerings containing full-size bottles of gin. How we test gin gift sets Forget about wine; this Christmas countdown is all about gin - and lots of it, according to The Wine Box.

In the highly sought-after taste competition, 11 Gold Medals were presented with Edinburgh Gin collecting two gold medals. The results are highly regarded as they are independently audited by a panel of experts and judged live in a rigorously assessed blind tasting event. It's a fantastic way to taste-test some new gins before going all out and purchasing a full-sized bottle. Each of the 24 wax-sealed 30ml gins has been made by smaller producers – so you can be sure the ingredients have been hand-selected by someone with a true knowledge of and passion for gin. This 1920s gin-laced sour is a tour de force that combines the zesty tartness of good gin, bitter orange botanicals and lemon juice, which are beautifully tamed by rich egg white that adds a silken texture for sophisticated sipping. 5. Gin & Tonic

The countdown to Christmas is well and truly on, so buying an advent calendar should be high on your to do list. After all, there's only a few weeks until the first advent door needs opening. These days there's more choice than ever, so if you're a little tired of the traditional chocolate advent calendar, (though it's hard to imagine how) consider your alternatives. Christmas is a time for indulgence and what better way to embrace that than spoiling yourself with one of the best alcohol advent calendars of 2023? Whether your preference is gin, wine, whisky or even alcohol-free beer, there’s plenty of choice online from mainstream brands like BrewDog and Laithwaites to lesser known craft options. Presented in a stylish geometric design box, Drinks by the Dram says there's a small chance the contents may change, but you can expect to find samples from the likes of Manly Spirits Co., Tarquin's Gin, Hoxton and St. George Spirits. Much like a chocolate advent calendar, a gin version will feature a set number of doors for you to open in the run-up to Christmas – each with a treat inside (gin, naturally). To make a Sloe Gin Fizz, you simply add some lemon juice and sugar syrup, shake it up, decant it into a glass with fresh ice, and then top it up it with soda water. 8. Hot Gin Old Fashioned

For that true independent artisan magic, you can't go wrong with this Craft Gin calendar by Drinks by the Dram. The Scottish Gin Awards have revealed gin brands which have successfully achieved medal status in 2023, following the awards dinner in Glasgow this month. This year, the Club's calendar comes with a free 70cl gin with the code FREEGINOFFER and if you fancy learning more about the best way to drink your daily tipples, then scan the QR code for a mini video talking you through. Chair of the judging panel, Adam Hardie, Partner and Head of Food and Drink at Johnston Carmichael, said: “It continues to be a very tough and challenging year but many are not just surviving but excelling. First of all, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without the snowball – an acquired taste maybe, but if mixed well, this drink which uses Advocaat, is a wonderfully refreshing long festive drink. Serve with a glace cherry of course.To take it into a more wintery space, we like to switch out the sugar syrup for rosemary-infused syrup and add a sprig of rosemary as garnish. It’s a small substitution but makes for a fun flavour shift. 7. Sloe Gin Fizz It combines 45ml gin, 15ml sugar syrup, 2 dashes of orange bitter, and 45ml of boiling water with a twist of orange. You gently heat the gin, syrup, and bitters in a saucepan, add the boiling water, and serve it in a heat-proof serving container like a teacup or a tankard, with an orange twist as garnish. 9. Christmas Negroni

Its swirling, cloudy appearance, reminiscent of the mists of a Cotswolds Christmas Eve, offers a clue to its unique flavour and mouthfeel. Premium drinks mixer brand, Fever-Tree, is always a hit with gin – all of its tonics are made with quinine sourced from original Cinchona ledgeriana trees (or 'fever trees'), with endless flavours to choose from. If you'd rather avoid the beer bloat, then a spirit-filled calendar is perfect for a daily treat in the lead-up to Christmas. It combines 60ml gin, 120ml blood orange syrup, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, which is shaken up, poured into a Champagne flute or tumbler, charged with Prosecco, and garnished with sliced blood oranges. 12. Hot ToddyThe beauty of an advent calendar, however, is you'll be introduced to a small amount of different flavoured gins every day.
