Ginger Infused Gin co*cktail Recipe for Gifting - Sugar & Cloth (2024)

These Ginger Infused Gin co*cktails are easy to whip up and the perfect co*cktail gift to surprise your friends this holiday.

With the holidays usually comes a little bit of gifting anxiety.

I,Colleenabsolutely love to give just about everybody on my 21+ list some sort of homemade alcohol infusion.

If you’re looking for the perfect DIY gift(especially a mason jar gift idea for Christmas) to stand out in a sea of same olds, you really need to try this Ginger Infused Ginholiday gift recipe!

There’s somethingparticularly merry about bringing a bottle of cheer to the door of your friend or relative this time of year.

A bottle of wine is as easy to grab as a drug store card.

But for that exact reason, it isn’t exactly the ace of the gifting playbook.

Gifts that involve just a touch ofDIY are, in my opinion, the very best. They sometimes get a bad rap.

And let’s be honest, we’ve all received a #pinterestfail or two in our time.

But in my experience, that’s totally undeserved.

This particular DIY involves very little work (like insanely little, see below) for huge payoff.

Ginger and cardamom are the perfect complement to gin’s citrusy, spicy, floral profile, bringing a spirit often underutilized in the winter months very much into the holiday flavor family.

Recipe Notes and Tips

Can you substitute the gin?

This recipe is also great with vodka.I know many people out there have a thing against gin.So vodka can be a safer bet when you don’t know your giftee’s preferences.

Serving sizes:

You can scale the recipe up or down. Just double the ingredients for a 1.5L handle, etc. depending on how many you want to gift and how big your gifting vessels are.

You can also put them in little one cup mason jars as party favors or gift someone an entire 750ml bottle’s worth. Lucky them!

Decorating co*cktail Gift Jars

I used my Cricut to make vinyl labels for my mason jars.

But you can be as ambitious or unambitious as you want to!

Stores like Target and Paper Source have adorable pre-made labels that would make this project even easier.

More Fun co*cktailRecipes to Try

Anyone else out there tried their own infusions?

It’s such an easy way to add pure flavor to a drink, especially for recipes like martinis and Manhattans that don’t call for citrus or sweeteners (my usual go-to place for adding flavor).

You can infuse pretty much anything in alcohol.

Just make sure you test the flavor every day if you aren’t following a recipe. Some things only need a day or two, and others take weeks!
