Over the last decade or so, advent calendars have evolved beyond daily doses of chocolate. These days, you can find Christmas countdowns boasting luxury beauty products, cheeses or even dog toys. One we’re currently eyeing, however, is Meliora Forever’s whiskey advent calendar.
It features 12 days’ worth of bitter-infused cocktail cubes, which you can mix into your favorite whiskey. No bartending skills required!
Each door on Meliora Forever’s 12 Days of Christmas Calendar features “12 Days of Christmas”-inspired cocktail cubes. Simply muddle in warm water and mix with your favorite whiskey for the perfect craft cocktail. Since each door has two cubes, you can either mix a double or serve up two separate cocktails. Each cube is low in sugar, infused with naturally delicious bitters and spices hand-crafted in Buffalo, New York.
Peruse the flavors so you can experience the Christmas magic yourself! Keep in mind these flavors are exclusive to the advent calendar and aren’t available for purchase on their own.
