Conventional advent calendars were yesterday. Now come advent calendars with alcohol – and they really have something for everyone. GALA introduces you to the most popular!
Whether with whiskey, gin, rum, grappa or liqueur: Advent calendars with alcohol are ideal for tasting different drinks and that without the alcohol having too much effect. Every little door is full of enjoyment, whether classic or new spirits, with Advent calendars of the special kind like this there should be something for everyone in terms of taste.
But, is this really the truth? Can everyone find something among the products they like? We did the test and, as an exception, opened an advent calendar with alcohol before December 1st and tried the contents of all the little doors. Our decision fell on one Spirits advent calendar from Amazon, which is supposed to present us with a fine selection of particularly popular products from all over the world with a 4-star rating or higher.
Advent calendar with alcohol: test
When we unpack the package, we are immediately surprised, because in addition to the advent calendar with alcohol, there is also a booklet with great cocktail recipes, the product information hidden behind the respective content, background information on the spirits in general and quotes. We are not familiar with this and definitely make us curious. Particularly practical: there is also a QR code for every drink in the booklet, with which you can immediately access the product in its original size.
The tasting

We tested the advent calendar with alcohol in good company with friends, because everything should taste best then. We happily unpack the Advent doors little by little and try them out. Whether popular short, unusual flavor combinations, bottles with wax seals or spirits from family businesses, there is something special in every little door. Of course, we also have a carafe with enough water on our table to neutralize the taste of the previous drink after every tasting.
We are sometimes very surprised by the products, so we googled some of them during the test to find out more information about the alcohol and the price. Some of the content in the advent calendar with alcohol provides memories for one or the other of us. This includes, for example, the popular Fireball, which is known to be part of every good party in the USA. A friend of mine has already drunk it there several times and has loved it since then, which is all the greater the surprise for him now.
And a vodka liqueur also convinces us very much. This is where a full-bodied caramel taste and the taste of popcorn meet. Sounds damn cute, it is too!
Conclusion
We are enthusiastic about the good mixture in the advent calendar with alcohol. Many of these taste the way they smell – and not necessarily in a negative sense. There are also taste surprises that we might never have ordered in a bar.
And so much can be revealed: Our winner in the advent calendar-with-alcohol test is a rum. For us, the test result is completely unexpected, because non-rum lovers are also convinced. Sometimes you just have to broaden your taste horizons!
