Say it with chocolate
Local businesses Anther Spirits and The Ministry of Chocolate have teamed up to create limited edition, Belgium chocolate-coated gin-soaked cherries.
Both businesses are committed to sustainable decadence, and have collaborated to support each other during COVID-19.
You can order these cherries by going to anther.com.au/buy
Cocktails on your doorstep
The Cocktail Porter has created two cocktail kits for Mother's Day.
The French Martini gift box comes with fairy floss, Ciroc vodka, Chambord raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice to create gorgeous pink cocktails.
The "Mothers Day Botanical Spritz" gift box comes with three spritz flavours: elderflower, orange & passionfruit, and blood orange negroni.
These only require a quick chill before completing with soda water.
To order online, go to cocktailporter.com.au/pages/gifts.
