Christmas gift ideas with & without alcohol
Receiving a high-quality drink as a Christmas present is always special. A special whisky, gin or liqueur as a gift is always well received. But gifts without alcohol for Christmas are also becoming increasingly popular. The most important thing is that the recipient must not be able to buy the alcoholic or non-alcoholic gift in every store so that it is a special gift.

Christmas gifts with alcohol
Giving handmade gin, fine spirits or good whisky as a Christmas present is always a good idea, because in our hearts we are all connoisseurs. But not all gin is the same and not everyone likes smoky or peaty whiskies. That's why we've put together a few recommendations for you.
Christmas gifts for whisky lovers
If you want to give whisky as a Christmas present, there are a few things you should bear in mind. If you're giving a gift to an experienced whisky drinker, you're guaranteed not to go wrong with their favorite brand. Those who already know their way around the whisky world will also be delighted to receive complex whiskies with smoky and peaty aromas for Christmas.
A good whisky is a great Christmas gift idea
Beginners, cocktail fans or people who like to try out new things here and there are more likely to be pleased at Christmas with sweet whiskies with a nice fruity or caramel note. This is because the palate first has to get used to smoky and peaty aromas, much like bitter notes, and acquire a taste for them. You can usually find out which whisky tastes how from the tasting notes of the respective whisky.
Ideally, you shouldn't give a whisky from the supermarket shelf as a Christmas present, but a real insider tip. In our whisky gift ideas we already have great whisky gifts that are suitable for both connoisseurs and beginners and are guaranteed to look great under any Christmas tree.

But these whiskies here also make excellent Christmas gifts:
Christmas gifts for gin fans
If you want to give gin as a Christmas present, you should also think about what the recipient likes: do they like to mix different and sometimes elaborate cocktails and would they like a pure gin with unusual botanicals? Or are they actually classic gin and tonic drinkers?
A great Christmas present: gin! It's perfect for preparing and enjoying cocktails!
You should pay attention to the composition of the gin botanicals and the tasting notes. Distinctive juniper notes with citrus aromas can be found in many classic London dry gins and work well in any cocktail. However, there are also unusual gins that attract attention with wilder taste experiences, such as a truffle gin, hop gin or a gin with cocoa. These taste particularly good to experienced gin fans.
If you're still unsure who to give which gin to for Christmas, there's good news: We have more gin gift recommendations for you! In our gin gift guide you will not only find excellent gins to put under the Christmas tree, but also tips on which gin is particularly suitable for whom.

Giving rum as a Christmas present
Just like whisky or gin, rum is one of the connoisseur drinks that make great gifts under the Christmas tree. As with other spirits, the same applies here: Complex aroma structures are more for advanced drinkers, classic and mild aromas for beginners and cocktail fans.
Pleasure drinkers and cocktail fans are guaranteed to enjoy a good rum at Christmas
Especially if you are not yet very familiar with rum, all the additional designations can be quite confusing. So here is a little guide:
- Names such as VS, VSOP or XO allude to the ageing period of the rum (VS at least 3 years, VSOP at least 4 years, XO at least 6 years)
- Añejo or Gran Añejo are also storage or age designations
- A rum solera is produced using a special process in which the amount of evaporation during maturation is balanced with younger rums
- Unlike conventional rums, a rum or rhum agricole is not made from molasses, but from fresh sugar cane juice
- Of course, the rum's country of origin also plays a major role in its taste
But don't be discouraged by all the technical terms. If you're unsure, just take another look at the flavor descriptions to find the right rum Christmas gift!
Schnapps & liqueur as Christmas gifts
Don't know if your loved ones like special spirits? Don't worry, you won't go wrong with a good schnapps or liqueur at Christmas. On the contrary: many distilleries and distilleries have special Christmas bottlings on offer that make great gifts. Like this one, for example!
But many people also enjoy classics such as a good schnapps, tequila or nut liqueurs. That's why schnapps and liqueur tasting and gift sets are particularly suitable as Christmas presents: everyone will find the right drop for themselves here!
