Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tony Streams Christmas Gift Guide twenty twenty four. If you like,
please talk Fest of drinks.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, this is my gift guide today, Fest of Drinks
and I am going to start with our Knakis palette
rose because this was chosen by us when we were
sitting down ahead of the Elton John concert. Or was
it the Dixie Chicks? It was the Chicks?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Was the chicks?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's the Chicks And we ordered a rose at dinner
and we loved it so much that we asked, can
we see the bottle? And we saw the bottle, went wow,
and it was Knocki's palette and the rose, the Georgetown
Double Gold medal winning rose is thirty five dollars at
the moment on knockispalette dot com. Great perfect gifts because
it's so arty. The actual bottle itself, I've.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Said you before, even my dad, who doesn't drink, do
you remember that bottle or the bottle was great?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's really really pretty. Let me take you now to
the est Brusso martini Sammy, which you said you're a
fan of over the Christmas season. It's a really nice
thing to have as a dessert as well. You can
have that in as a kind of as a nightcap.
It has obviously got a bit of coffee in it,
so you've got to be wanting to plow on. You
can actually get espresso martinis, the batched espresso Martinis now

(01:05):
for twenty one ninety nine in a four pack. Do
you remember last year? I can last year you kindly
bought that for me for Christmas and my sister and
I had it over the festive season.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh, I'll tell you what do you like it? We
did it?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It was very moorish the one I just saw online
as someone was making express of martini with toasted marshmallow
liqueur in it. Oh, just so it does. And while
we're talking about batched and the reason I like them
is because they're pre made so you don't have to
faff about adding everything in. They've got a passion fruit
martini in the same bottle, this time for a nineteen

(01:34):
ninety nine and all you do is shake it and
it's done. You don't even have to.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Add it all a bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's good to let me take you to Tartanuky now
as a as a Tartanuky girl, Juno Gin. I don't
know if you've ever tried it before, but you can
build a box of Juno and where you get four
two hundred mel bottles. So even if you wanted to
buy the box and then gift the individual bottles, it's
one hundred and sixty nine for the four. And they

(02:01):
have their seasonal gins. I love this. They've broken it
down into winter and spring and summer and autumn, and
they again the bottles, and I think this is the key.
At this time of year. The bottle has to be pretty.
And the Juno Gin bottles are so cool. They're black
and they have kind of floral designs down there. You
can I be drinking that winter one at the end
of summer one would make it through the window. I'm

(02:26):
going to go to good George dot keeb dott Z.
Now speaking of pretty bottles, and Jason, this is right
up your alley. It's called the Altier Christmas Gin and
Gift Box. And I need to show you this. We'll
get this. Don't worry up on our page. But look
how keiw that bottle of gin is. Oh wow, it
is so amazing pretty. So essentially it's got a dancing
Santa and raygun on the front of the bottles. On

(02:49):
the beach, dancing around and it's just it's just it's
more than a bottle because it's just got some character
to it. That's sixty nine dollars. Wine Friend. It has
been my favorite for a long time because what you
do is you go to Wine Friend and they pick
out three bottles of wine, package it together and then
that becomes your Christmas list. So for one hundred and

(03:11):
nine dollars, you get this beautifully packaged Wine Friend box
with three bottles in it that they choose for you,
because you know, sometimes you just don't know where to
go for the wine and you don't know which one
to choose and the last one. For thirty five dollars,
you can get a three bauble gin pack and in
it you get one Juno Borble, a saffron and a
flamboyance pink gin Bable and they can either sit on
the Christmas tree or it's just a really nice secret

(03:33):
Santa gift because it's thirty five dollars. But you could
even just give someone one barble. Yeah nice good, that's
so pretty. That's from Cocktail Collective.
