Mother’s Day Gifting

Mother’s Day Gifting

Mother's Day presents a great opportunity for liquor retailers as although it is a nationwide event, the way everyone chooses to celebrate Mother’s Day differs. Many people will choose to have a brunch, which pairs perfectly with a sparkling, some may indulge in a long lunch with a vibrant Pinot Grigio or bold Shiraz and others a family picnic where smaller format products like piccolos are perfect. It is a brilliant time to showcase a wider variety of drinks and formats and tap into products that are great for that gifting opportunity.”

Yellow Tail Bubbles Rosé

Forget the flowers and get mum Rosé over roses. Yellow Bubbles Rosé is light, effervescent and refreshing, with notes of strawberries and red cherry with a hint of lemon. The palate is soft and creamy, making this wine a seamless match for any celebration. Bubbles Rosé pairs perfectly with fresh salads, your favourite dessert or would be great served alongside a Mother’s Day brunch of French toast and berries.

Pretty in pink, this bottle is also a brilliant last minute gift idea for mum.

Mums are special, and they deserve the best. Nobody wants to roll up to lunch with something mediocre under their arm, but they’re almost certainly completely disorganised and running into your store on the way to the celebration. Make it simple for shoppers to elevate the occasion (and impress Mum) with step-up options in the main traffic areas. Something with a little bit of a story that can be relayed at the lunch table won’t hurt…

Giniversity Australian Native and Indian Ocean Gin

Give mum a ‘true taste of the Margaret River’ this Mother’s Day with either the Australian Native Gin or Indian Ocean Gin from Giniversity.

The South West of Western Australia conjures images of majestic forests, striking coastline and, of course, picturesque rows of perfectly planted grape vines. The area is one of 34 biodiversity hotspots in the World. It’s these stunning natural surroundings that inspired these Giniversity expressions, which all reflect the amazing flavours of the Margaret River.

Australian Native Gin is prepared using native Geraldton wax, lemon myrtle and the unique Australian fruit, emu plum. Named for the emu’s penchant to seek out this rare indigo fruit across extreme distances, emu plum provides this gin with earthy undertones, which is complemented by the lemongrass notes of the Geraldton wax.

Indian Ocean Gin magically fuses unique West Australian botanicals of Salt Bush and Geraldton Wax diluted with drops of salty Gnarabup sea water then melded Juniper, Samphire, Summer Berries, Sweet Orange and Butterfly Pea to create the natural deep blue hue of the Indian Ocean.

Glendalough Rose Gin

This fresh, rose petal gin was first made to honour Glendalough’s Head Distiller’s mum, Rose, at his youngest brother’s wedding. She had recently passed, so he distilled fresh flowers from her rose garden into a batch of the Wild Irish Botanical Gin so that she could be there in spirit.

To make this special, small batch Gin the team completely rebalanced their Gin recipe and redistilled it with extra fruit, flowers, spices and, of course, a lot of fresh rose petals. Two varieties of rose are used: the rare and elusive Wild Rose from the Wicklow mountains and the large, fragrant Heritage Rose. They come together to make this light, floral and flavoursome gin. Given the delicate ingredients, it is distilled even slower and more gently than Glendalough’s dry Gin with vapor distillation playing a bigger part extracting those essential oils and flavours. After distillation, it is further infused with even more roses to deepen the flavours and impart a lovely pink hue.

Best enjoyed as a spritz, with 45mL poured into an ice-filled glass, topped with pink grapefruit soda and garnished with fresh grapefruit and a sprig mint.
