Raise Your Spirits

This year, the hottest gifts are decidedly practical, yet far from dull.

(page 3 of 3)

HPNOTIQ®

GIFT IDEA

What would the holidays be without getting together with your friends to share a glass of good cheer? Be sure you invite HPNOTIQ along to the festivities. Better yet, present your host or hostess with a distinctive HPNOTIQ holiday gift set containing a bottle of your favorite drink and two fabulous rocks glasses.

COCKTAIL RECIPE

Blue Snowflake
2 oz. HPNOTIQ
1 oz. super premium vodka
Splash pineapple juice
Garnish with a rock candy stir stick.

CROWN ROYAL® CASK NO. 16®

Crown Royal® Cask No. 16® is an ultra-premium blend of over 50 different individually aged whiskies. Crown Royal® and cognac are often referred to as Noble Spirits due to their great history and craftsmanship. For the first time, our master blender brings together these two great traditions by finishing our fine Canadian whisky in rare cognac casks from the Limousin forest in France, distinctly marked “16” to represent their place of origin.

TASTING NOTES

As someone who recognizes premium whiskies, you’ll appreciate the expertise that went into the creation of this new blend. The extra care that went into this blend imparts subtle hints of rich dried fruits and a heightened smoothness to create the balanced yet complex taste of Crown Royal® Cask No. 16.

Experience the artistry of this superbly crafted and finished whisky neat in a snifter or a rocks glass.

SUPERB GIFT

Crown Royal® Cask No. 16 is offered in a faceted 750ml and 375ml decanter-style bottle, black velvet bag and collector’s gift tube.

Suggested Retail $100 for 750ml.

Enjoy Responsibly.

BAILEYS® WITH A HINT OF COFFEE

After dinner coffee now has just the right cream – new Baileys® with a hint of Coffee – the perfect after dinner indulgence.

This new offering from Baileys® has the all natural ingredients and quality that discerning consumers would expect from the world’s best-selling cream liqueur. New Baileys® with a hint of Coffee delicately blends the taste of fine coffee into the cream liqueur for a pairing that will turn even non-coffee sippers into coffee & cream cocktail lovers.

Other indulgent offerings from Baileys® include Baileys® with a hint of Caramel, Baileys® with a hint of Mint Chocolate, and of course, Baileys® Original Irish Cream.

Enjoy Responsibly.

GIFT IDEA

BAILEYS® has an exquisite home-entertaining gift set available this holiday – a Chocolate Martini Kit complete with a 750ml of Baileys® Original Irish Cream Liqueur and a 2.5 oz. STIRRINGS Chocolate Martini Rimmer®.

To present perfect chocolate martinis to your guests, just add Smirnoff® Vanilla Flavored Vodka* to the mix (sold separately), and follow the instructions on the package. Also a fine hostess gift, the Baileys® Chocolate Martini Kit is available at retail outlets and wine & spirit shops throughout Michigan.
