Let Gravity Drink be on your Christmas tipple list this year

Gravity Drinks introduces Christmas Globe Gin Liqueur®,  this year’s NEW and collectable light-up globe, due for release in stores worldwide this September.

Take a look inside the Christmas Globe ® to see the enchanting festive scene. A Christmas tree takes centre stage in a snowy street scene.

 Townsfolk are teetering on a ladder, adding the last lights and finishing touches to the tree. Carol singers practice nearby and a chestnut stand is selling piping hot treats to keep everyone warm. 

Fireworks light up the night sky and can you see Father Christmas racing across the sky?

The all-important gin liqueur inside the beautiful, globed bottle is a taste of Christmas; an indulgent spiced orange and cranberry flavour using Seville oranges and cinnamon. Plus, it features real edible 23kt gold leaf and a light up bottle.  

For that extra WOW factor, simply give the globe a gentle shake and turn on the light at the base of the bottle to illuminate the gold leaf cascading around the Christmas scene inside.

Beautifully packaged in a gift box it’s the perfect gift for loved ones. It’s even topped with a ribbon on the  top!

What does it taste like? It's a subtly sweet and indulgent gin liqueur with zesty spiced orange upfront meeting the sharp tang of fresh cranberry to perfectly capture the spirit of Christmas.

Scan the QR code on the gift box to see a video of 3 amazing cocktails you can create at home with Christmas Globe!

The product is 700ml, 20% alc./vol.

Stockists: Harvey Nichols, Costco, Master of Malt and Firebox.

Superb Christmas Drinks for Every Occasion from Hattiers Rum

Served neat, over ice or to create delicious festive cocktails perfect for the party season, the UK's first B Corp certified rum, Hattiers' three premium aged rums also make wonderful gifts and stocking fillers. 

Specialising in sourcing fine blended aged rums from around the world, which they sustainably blend in Devon, their unique rums include Egremont Premium Reserve Rum, Eminence Blended Aged White Rum and Resolute Navy Strength Rum.  

Not only do Hattiers' rums taste exquisite, with six awards from the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) to prove it, they're also sustainable, plastic free and committed to carbon neutrality.  

The ultimate Christmas gift for the rum connoisseur in your life, premium sipping rum Egremont Premium Reserve Rum, is a blend of four cask aged rums hand picked from across the Caribbean and Central America and gently paired with pure soft spring water from the hills of Dartmoor.  Filtered by layer upon layer of ancient granite, Dartmoor spring water balances the alcoholic strength of the base rums to a more accessible level and produces a long and creamy finish.  A fragrant, medium bodied rum that is complex yet accessible, Egremont is perfect in Hattiers' original Hot Hattiers and The King's Hat Christmas cocktails.  £42.00, 40% ABV, 70 cl.

With a fruity but not sweet taste, gentle nutty pineapple aftertaste and long cream finish, Eminence Blended Aged White Rum is the perfect gift for cocktail loving family, friends or colleagues.  Divine served with mixers too, Eminence is crafted using cask rums from Barbados, Australia, Trinidad and Jamaica and is smooth, light-medium bodied with a great depth of flavour and character.  With light and attractive soft fruit notes and a vanilla pod, creamy fudge and ripe pineapple aroma, it has been carefully carbon filtered to remove the colour while maintaining the impact of the barrel.  £37.50, 42% ABV, 70cl.

Guaranteed to pack some punch and sure to make Christmas parties go off with a bang, Hattiers Rums' Resolute Navy Strength Rum is a blended aged navy strength rum, made using rums from Barbados, Australia, Guyana and Jamaica.  With a toasted brown sugar and charred oak aroma followed by warm banana, on the palate it has an intensity of fruit with pineapple, apple, banana, mango and a buttery pastry taste with darker notes of liquorice which linger.  Wafts of coal smoke drift in on the finish, with a dominance of banana cream.  £56.00, 54.5% ABV, 70cl.

Treat party guests to an exquisite Christmas inspired Hot Hattiers or The King's Hat, or both, at your next festive celebration.  

Hot Hattiers

Combining sweet cider with sugar, spice and all things nice, Hot Hattiers is a delicious winter warmer that makes all that wind and rain worthwhile.  So, embrace the season, close the curtains, light a fire and invite friends and loved ones around for Christmas carols, mince pies and hot rum and cider.  After all, Hot Hattiers is best enjoyed shared!
