Valentine’s gifts: The best themed drinks – and the Aldi Baileys dupe that’ll save you £15!

The big day is less than two weeks away!

Valentine’s Day is almost upon us and with it (we hope) comes gifts!

Hearts, flowers and cutsey teddy bears have been steadily appearing in shops over the weeks since Christmas.

But it’s the V-Day themed drinks that have caught our eye.

Here’s what we’ll be hoping to be gifted on February 14.

Valentine’s boozy gifts: Gordon’s Pink Gin

Pink is the colour of romance so this list wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Gordon’s Pink Gin.

Gordon’s launched the pink drink in 2017 and it immediately made our drinks cabinets look prettier.

The gin’s pink colour is all totally natural as well – distilled using raspberries and strawberries.

Whether you’re spending this Valentine’s Day with a significant other or planning to celebrate Galentine’s or Palentine’s Day, Gordon’s Pink Gin is an ideal tipple to raise a glass of.

As a special treat, Gordon’s are releasing three limited-edition bottles designed by artist and illustrator, Ruby Taylor.

They’re all gorgeous, so why not treat yourself to the full set?

Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale

If pink drinks aren’t your thing but you’d still like to get a gin-kick this February 14, try Tanqueray Blackcurrant Royale.

It’s purple, which is actually bang on trend after being named official colour of the year by colour boffs Pantone.

The gin is made from French blackcurrants and delicate vanilla notes, elevated with hints of black orchid and balanced with the four classic London Dry botanicals.

It’s inspired by the travels of Charles Tanqueray back in the 1840s and is best enjoyed served with plenty of ice, lemonade, a wedge of lemon and a handful of dark berries.

70cl, ABV 41.3%, RRP: £25. Available in all good retailers now.
