Entertaining in Style
01
Welcome Drinks
Welcome your guests with a glass of something special. Our royal gins are a talking point at any gathering and are wonderfully versatile for a range of serving suggestions. Top up your drinks cabinet with the original Buckingham Palace Dry Gin, blush-pink Royal Windsor Gin or our Palace of Holyroodhouse Dry Gin, infused with botanicals from the Scottish Palace's Physic Garden. For a wintery twist, try our Sloe Gin served in a Sloe Royale; topped with champagne or English sparkling wine and garnished with fresh berries.

Gifts for the Host
If you're a guest, a gift can be a lovely gesture to show your appreciation. From royal gins for their drinks cabinet to homeware and seasonal food from our selections, browse our gift guides for all the ideas you need.
03
Set the Table
If your evening involves a meal, keep your table setting in mind. For the festive season, why not mix up the presentation with jewel tones such as deep forest greens and bold red? If you plan to treat your guests to party favours, you could add a keepsake Christmas decoration to every place setting for them to take home.

Raise a Toast
It's Christmas, so naturally you'll want to raise a toast to the season. Our classic English Sparkling Wine features Chardonnay as the structural component, Pinot Noir for body and depth, and Pinot Meunier for floral and fruity notes.
