Pear Post Gift Box

A sloe gin cocktail cracker and the salty nibbles to go with it.

Pull the cracker and there's a full-strength cocktail inside. Let It Sloe is Edmunds' Christmas recipe of sloe gin with kumquat liqueur, cranberry and lime, fruity with a bright citrus edge and made for the start of the evening.

Next to it are smoky pigs in blankets nuts and big, buttery Cerignola olives, the salty sort of nibble a cocktail calls for. A box of raspberry-dusted chocolate truffles is there for when the savoury runs out.

Everything is packed with care and delivered in our signature Pear Post gift box, beautifully presented and ready to open the moment it arrives. Ice not included.
