Aperol Spritz RTDs
In recent years, Spritzes have evolved from just summer drinks to year-round cocktails. Campari Group has made enjoying its signature Aperol Spritz even easier this year with the launch of an RTD version of the classic, responding to the rising global demand for convenient pre-mixed cocktails.
The RTD Aperol Spritz is available at 9% ABV in a four-pack of 200ml bottles at various stores and supermarkets across the UK. While the recommended retail price for the pack is £13 (US$17), many stores are offering it before Christmas for £10 (US$13) with a loyalty card, making it an even more tempting stocking filler for festive celebrations and sharing.
The Heart Cut Pocket Pours
For adventurous whisky enthusiasts, The Heart Cut’s Pocket Pours offer a chance to enjoy small-batch expressions from the US, Europe, and New Zealand. Offered in 30ml pouches priced between £5 (US$6.70) and £8.50 (US$11.40), The Heart Cut’s new offerings fit perfectly into a Christmas stocking. Or, if feeling generous, get a full pair of tights and pack them up.
“Our Pocket Pours are the perfect gift for whisky lovers – 30ml serves of our award-winning whiskies that let you explore new whisky styles, whether you’re at home or out and about,” said Georgie Bell, founder of The Heart Cut. “From stocking fillers to Secret Santas, Christmas table place settings to an end of feast tasting – they’re perfect for discovering your next favourite dram.”
Hayman’s London Light
Many drinkers are looking to celebrate the holidays by drinking in moderation. A great choice for a lower-alcohol ‘gin’ and tonic is Hayman’s London Light, which has an ABV of 12.5%, making it an excellent way to enjoy the festivities responsibly. The 700ml bottle is available now on The Whisky Exchange for £14.95 (US$20).
Disaronno 500 Years Anniversary
Looking for something special for a sweet-toothed relative or co-worker? Disaronno’s limited edition labels for the brand’s 500th anniversary add a dash of colour to celebrations, available in five designs: Eleganza, Stile, Dolce Vita, Passione, and Bellezza.
The Italian liqueur can be enjoyed in cocktails such as Spritzes and is available at many UK supermarkets with a loyalty card for £12 (US$16) in a 500ml format.
Johnnie Walker Old Fashioned RTS
Perfect for those looking to enjoy the Old Fashioned cocktail with limited mixology experience, Johnnie Walker’s ready-to-serve (RTS) only requires adding ice to a glass to master the classic. Leading up to Christmas, the 500ml bottle at 20.5% ABV is available from retailers such as Amazon, Waitrose, and Sainsbury for £10.00 (US$13).
The ‘warm and sweet’ cocktail is a wonderful way to toast after dinner. If you are planning to host this year, consider taking the hassle out of preparation and instead use the time to spend with your guests, easy-to-serve drink in hand.
If you’re looking for more whisky-based RTDs, you can find them in our top 10 list here.
Sheridan’s
This iconic coffee-and-cream liqueur was designed for shared celebrations. With a single pour, the two flavours will layer in unison, creating a perfect serve every time with an ABV of 15.5%. While the 500ml bottle usually retails for more, Sheridan’s is available now at Master of Malt for only £14.50 (US$19).
Caleño alcohol-free ‘rums’
Anyone who claims all festive drinks should have an ABV clearly hasn’t noticed the rise of non-alcoholic ‘spirits’. With more people wanting to enjoy the flavours of alcoholic drinks without the booze, brands like Caleño provide tasty, flavourful alternatives to both classic and innovative cocktails.
Caleño’s four tropical flavours – Dark & Spicy, Light & Zesty, White Coconut, and Mango & Passionfruit – bring the taste of the Caribbean to any celebration in a 500ml format. Now available at Amazon and Ocado for £13.50 (US$18), Caleño ‘rum’ makes a perfect gift for those looking to enjoy being alcohol-free this holiday season and beyond.
Baileys x Terry’s Chocolate Orange
This year’s limited edition holiday release from Baileys combines two British holiday classics: Irish cream liqueur and Terry’s Chocolate Orange. Clocking in at 17% ABV, the indulgent liqueur is sure to be a standout as a gift or a shared treat at the Christmas table.
Available for a limited time, a 500ml bottle of Baileys x Terry’s Chocolate Orange Irish Cream Liqueur is priced at £11-£12.50 (US$15-US$17) at most UK retailers.
Sierra Tequila
Margaritas never go out of style, and this festive season, both Sierra Tequila’s blanco and reposado are available in most UK supermarkets at £14 (US$18.70) in 500ml bottles with a loyalty card. While a Santa hat might be more suitable for the occasion, Sierra’s iconic sombreros are sure to bring more fun to the celebration.
The Philosophy of Whisky by Billy Abbott
For many whisky enthusiasts, drinking whisky is only part of the experience. The other half comes from exploring the spirit’s history and cultural significance over the years. For whisky enthusiasts and inspired drammers, The Philosophy of Whisky by the winner of the IWSC 2026 Spirits Communicator Award, Billy Abbott, offers a humorous look at the basics of the spirit and beyond.
A great read to fill a Christmas stocking with, the 100-page book can be found for £10 (US$13) or less from The Whisky Exchange and well-equipped book stores.
