It can seem a pity that many Christmas traditions are reserved for children. But who says adults can’t get into the festive spirit? We still love unwrapping sweet surprises, and luckily for us we’ve found an advent calendar that’s very much for grown-ups. Behind the 24 doors of the Gin Cocktail Advent Calendar await the makings of exquisite gin cocktails: every two to four days you’ll reveal enough vermouths, tonics and bitters to mix in style! And since good cheer is best shared, there’s enough drink in there for two. The calendar blends some of our favorite holiday activities: counting down the advent and enjoying quality time with friends. The duo behind the concept, Jens Hoffmann and Erik Pfauth, are pros when it comes to home bar culture: since 2014, they’ve been devoted to creating cocktail sets for the at-home enthusiast, with no experience or fancy equipment necessary.
This passion is reflected not only in the beautiful design of the Gin Cocktail Advent Calendarbut also in the ingredients. Hoffmann and Pfauth source spirits from small manufacturers and the pair even make their bitters and syrups themselves. If you find yourself drinking the same gin and tonic every night, ’tis the season to discover something new. How about the duo’s Cinnamon Smoked Negroni? Or a fresh mix with sparkling wine and tangerine gin? Sound like your sip? You can order the calendar online.
