Looking for foodie gifts for your Valentine? To make things easier for you, I have put together this yummy guide featuring a selection of fab food and drinks. Take a look!

Mermaid Pink Gin

I've featured Mermaid Gin earlier on the blog as it is a brand that has become a favourite at our home. Presented in a plastic-free bottle that is 100% recyclable, Mermaid Pink Gin infuses the flavour of fresh Isle of Wight strawberries with the smooth yet complex taste of Mermaid Gin, a blend of lemon zest, grains of paradise and fragrant rock samphire. 

The gin is perfectly balanced and aromatic and is less sweet than most pink gins and has no added sugar.  Served over ice, with a splash of tonic and a slice of strawberry, the pink gin (38% ABV) is absolutely delicious.

Priced at £40.00 (70cl), Mermaid Pink Gin is available from John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Master of Malt.

Zymurgorium Gin - Turkish Delight Liqueur from Prezzybox

For the gin loving Valentine, here is another fantastic and quirky gin, the Zymurgorium Gin - Turkish Delight Liqueur!

Zymurgorium Distillery makes a range of brews - craft beers and ciders, honey wines, never-seen-before gins & liqueurs and much more. Featured in this guide is the Zymurgorium Turkish Delight Gin Liqueur which is a sweet and fragrant, special edition Gin liqueur. It is made by distilling fine deep red rose petals from the fertile crescent and rich cocoa from Africa; the two tastes are blended with a unique gin to create a delicious gin liqueur (18.7% ABV).
