Why not show your Mum how much you love and appreciate her by treating her to a shiny new bottle of something nice this Mother’s Day? Forget slippers. Boring. Forget flowers. They’ve been done. Going all out with a top tipple (or one that you can both enjoy) is sure to bring smiles and explain that you care.

Take a look at our pick of the best bottles for gifts by drinks type in our handy guide.

 

Wine

Mirabeau en Provence Classic Rosé 2018

Provence’s finest, this best-selling rosé wine is refreshing, full of character and bursting with berry flavours – primarily strawberry and raspberry – to be enjoyed at any occasion and with pretty much anything!  A real treat.

Mirabeau en Provence Classic Rosé 2018 Magnum

Why not go all out and buy a bottle that she can share with you?!

 

Champagne

Taittinger Brut Rose NV Champagne

This stunningly packaged bubbly, though subtler than a lot of Champagnes of this kind, is fresh, fruity, elegant and dances on the tongue. And that colour! Pair with these beautiful copper flutes. No bubbles should ever be enjoyed otherwise.

 

Gin

Chapel Down Pinot Noir Gin

Any gin fan will appreciate the aromatic notes of this English number, produced in Chapel Down from Pinot Noir grapes. With its creative blend of herbs, fruit and spices, Mum can enjoy this however she likes but we recommend serving with raspberries, lime and lemonade – and a touch of rose – for an enjoyable celebratory cocktail.  The gorgeous cut-glass effect bottle makes for a beautiful present in itself.

 

Vodka

Chase Rhubarb Vodka

Pretty in pink, this beautiful Chase vodka made from rhubarb that’s been slowly cooked, twice distilled and mixed with crushed fresh rhubarb, makes for a sweet, yet delicate and clean tipple. Mum a fan of rhubarb crumble? This is the bottle for her.

 

 

Whisky

Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Single Malt Whisky

An absolute cracker, this whisky is crammed with character and history. Its single malt is something the distillers are very proud of – and rightly so. The signature bottle only heightens its appeal. In style, classic and elegant; in taste, floral and sweet with touches of honey, fruit and cinnamon. We highly recommended and Mum will agree.

 

Rum

Tiptree English Spiced Rum

Deeply steeped in history, Mum is sure to appreciate this Essex-based gem of a brand. Known for their fantastic jams – and now spirits – they are quintessentially British and ideal gifts. This rum is spiced; sweet and aromatic with a craft-feel. Serve with or without a mixer. Delicious!

 

Beer

Delirium Tremens

Though this Belgian beer is branded in its signature fun and quirky style, it’s the taste that does it for us (and will for Mum, too). A blonde, bright and golden ale, it is wonderfully sweet and fruity. As the brand so eloquently states: “Hey Mommas. This one’s for you.”

 

Cider

Wignac Cidre Rose, Le Goupil

We love Wignac’s branding almost as much as the liquid! A 100% fruit juice rosé cider, it has a mixture of pure, sweet, bitter, sour and eating apples – with just a touch of grape. It’s the perfect partner for your brunch (other than you, of course)! An extra special touch with cork and cage closure synonymous of Champagne bottles.

 

Cocktail

Pina Colada Punch Premixed Cocktail

A premium pre-mix, Liquid Intellect have perfected the RTD recipe. Their easier-to-drink cream-less reinvention on this classic cocktail, is created using real charred pineapple that’s been blended and mixed with a milk wash. You may not be enjoying this on a patch of sand, but she will love it, nonetheless!

 

Gift

Moët & Chandon Diamond Suit Champagne

Our favourite from the list, this is a chic choice and comes complete with a classy monochrome slip (and signature crest) that will keep your bubbles bubbling and Champagne chilling. An ideal gift for any stylish mother. Floral with tastes of citrus and brioche.
