Home Bargains is enchanting Christmas shoppers with a 'magical' gin that doubles as a twinkling snow globe. Unveiled just in time for those early festive shoppers, gin aficionados can snap up this dual-purpose bottle, which wouldn't be out of place as a yuletide decoration.
Priced at £13.99, the Manchester Drinks Co Snow Fairy Gin Liqueur from Home Bargains is brimming with minuscule 'silver leaves'. Emblazoned on its label, you'll find: "Light up snow dome. Limited release. Shake to awake the magic."
The bottle is adorned with a breathtaking winter scene, capturing the essence of its 'snow fairy' moniker. Over on Home Bargains' website, the store lauds the 'shimmering' gin liqueur as being 'infused with seasonal flavours'.
The retailer added: "Snow Fairy is the stuff of legends. Combining zesty orange with warming spices including cinnamon, it's the kind of drink that dreams are made of. Perfectly matched with soda water or lemonade and a wedge of fresh lime."
Meanwhile, Marks and Spencer is selling its own collection of 'snow globe' alcoholic concoctions, reports the Liverpool Echo. For £15, Marks and Spencer offers its Spiced Sugar Plum Light Up Snow Globe Gin Liqueur, which also features edible silver leaf flecks.
