Sixpence Pud Christmas Pudding Gin Liqueur 20% Abv in Gift Box, 50cl

Product Information

Gin liqueurs are made from distilled gin infused with different flavours and sweeteners (like fruit or sugar). So for example, sloe gin is actually a gin liqueur! What is the difference between gin and liqueur? You can also add more or less sugar based on how sweet and syrupy you want your gin liqueur to come out - the more sugar you add, the more treacly your liqueur will become (all the better for drinking neat or over ice!).

To get you into festive spirit, expect this tipple to taste exactly like a classic Christmas pudding. Flavour-wise, expect flavours of juniper, citrus peel, cinnamon and a blend of mixed fruits and spices. Gin – I use a supermarket own brand. You don’t want one of those fancy botanical versions, as they are expensive and all the subtle flavours that make them expensive will be lost. You don’t want anything rough either. A dry London gin works well. Use a reasonable gin, but not something really fancy. A mid range supermarket own brand dry London gin is perfect here.Due to the sugar content, liqueurs tend to have a much sweeter taste and more of a syrupy texture than gin. Do you mix anything with gin liqueur?

Step Six – You can now filter your gin. This is not strictly necessary, but it will look prettier and it will be crystal clear and I prefer to do this if I give liqueurs as a gift. We are committed to offering the best value to our members, with a satisfaction guarantee on both your membership and merchandise. Short and sweet with a sprig of holly on top, Sixpence Pud is a rich gin liqueur with a golden shimmer, boasting notes of candied fruit and Christmas spices, with vanilla and caramel running through it. If you want your gin Christmas gifts to look really fancy, you can crumble in a pinch of culinary gold leaf when you bottle your gin. Winter is made for infusions, concentrating and capturing flavours to last through the colder months. This one is like Christmas pudding in a glass.Step Seven – Although you can keep your gin in a jar, it will pour better from a bottle. You will definitely want to decant your Christmas pudding gin into pretty bottles if it is a Christmas gift. These need to be clean and dry, but you don’t really need to sterilise them unless you want to.

Before you start, read my step-by-step instructions, with photos, hints and tips so you can make this perfectly every time. The Gin Liqueur contains warming flavours of Christmas spices, including cinnamon with mince pie, Christmas cake, dried fruit like raisins and prunes overlaid with icing sugar, toffee and syrup on the aroma. A syrupy sweetness, combined with dried fruits, gives you a liquefied Christmas pudding on the palate. Although you can’t see it clearly in the bottle, there’s also a golden shimmer that shines beautifully in your glass. When creating this year’s Christmas drink, they took inspiration from the old tradition of placing half a sixpence into a pudding mix, the whole family would stir the pot at least once and whoever found the sixpence in their serving on Christmas Day would enjoy wealth and prosperity for the year ahead. The Sparkling Wine It makes sense that a festive spirit will help get you into the, ahem, festive spirit, so of course we're getting excited about Christmas gins. These seasonal offerings infuse a gin base with all manner of festive flavours, from candy canes, mulled wine, Christmas pudding, and cranberries to clementines, frankincense, myrrh, and even Brussels sprouts — yes, really. That takes the trend for unusual gins to next-level greatness.

As with other liqueurs, store this in a cool dark cupboard. It is best consumed within a year, because the flavours can start to fade if you keep it longer.
