As you know, here at Consommé we love everything food and everything drink - and we love them even more when they combine - especially when they create the most brilliantly-boozy-buys this year has ever seen. There’s just something so magical about the delicious and creative combinations you can create that can excite, intrigue and lift up anyone’s spirits. Alcohol and food are notorious for going hand-in-hand, but with these imaginative and oh-so-moorish creations you no longer have to worry about pairing the right bottle with your chosen produce. And we have a wide range of cocktail concoctions ranging from boozy festive gin tarts, filled with warming spices that pair perfectly with the spirit’s botanicals all encompassed in a buttery pastry, through to a unique coffee and beer creation that is 100% worth waking up for. So no matter what tipple is your favourite we have the perfect gift for everyone.

Miniature Gin Infused Fruit Tarts

These deliciously festive tarts take a classic and add a whole new level. Walkers Shortbread have created these miniature gin infused tarts (£3.30, Walkers Shortbread) that are packed full of the traditional mincemeat but with a modern twist. The fruit is lovingly soaked in gin to add a rich depth and a pack of warmth on your palate. The botanicals pair perfect with the sugar and spiced filling all wrapped in a light, melt in your mouth short crust pastry before being topped with an added layer of crumb topping. This works perfect as a luxury gift for any Afternoon Tea fans, or even serve as a unique take on a petite four after dinner.
