Gin de Cologne Gift Box 100 ml. Gin gift box with London Dry Gin, 42% vol – in a presentation box featuring a Cologne motif.

Gin de Cologne Gift Box 100 ml is a gin gift box from Cologne: a 100 ml bottle of Gin de Cologne, London Dry Gin with over 12 botanicals and 42% vol, packaged in a presentation box with a Cologne motif. Handcrafted in Cologne-Ehrenfeld and limey, zesty, mild, and refreshing.

A gin gift box is a bottle of gin that is already gift-ready. This box contains the small version of Gin de Cologne with 100 ml in a box featuring a Cologne motif. You don't need to wrap anything; just add a card. The gin inside is the London Dry Gin that the brand carries as its classic: a gin that must legally have at least 37.5% vol and here has 42% vol.

Taste: limey, zesty, mild, and refreshing

The manufacturer describes the gin as limey, zesty, mild, refreshing, and summery. This is achieved by over 12 botanicals, including lemon, orange, and lime peels, lavender and hibiscus blossoms, and juniper. The gin is deliberately not bitter, which makes it accessible for beginners.

Inside the box is the 100 ml bottle, which is also available individually as a miniature. This is enough for two gin and tonics and a little bit left over for tasting. With 42% vol, the gin is strong enough to hold its own in a long drink, and remains easily approachable when sipped neat and chilled.

Use: two gin and tonics straight from the gift

The bottle makes two drinks with 4 cl of gin each. Add 16 cl of tonic water, a slice of lime, and three ice cubes to each glass to create a gin and tonic in a 1:4 ratio. If you are giving the box as a gift, you can include a tonic so the recipient can toast immediately. If you are keeping it for yourself, use it to get to know the gin before buying the large bottle.

For a Gimlet, a cocktail made of gin, lime, and sugar, the rule is: shake 5 cl gin, 2 cl fresh lime juice, and 1.5 cl sugar syrup with ice and strain into a chilled glass. The contents of the box will make two Gimlets. A slice of lime or a zest of lemon or orange, which picks up the peel botanicals, is suitable as a garnish.

The content is 42% vol and is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over; please only give the box to adults.

Our tip: Include a lime and a note with the recipe: 4 cl gin, 16 cl tonic, ice, lime. Then the recipient can mix the first drink right away.

Origin: Handcrafted in Cologne, founded in 2017

Gin de Cologne comes from Cologne Spirits GmbH in Cologne, Bonner Straße 205. It was founded in 2017 by Abbass Khatami, who previously managed beverage brands with his advertising agency. The company crafts the gin by hand in Cologne-Ehrenfeld.

The brand's 100 ml bottles were explicitly developed as a Cologne souvenir. The presentation box with the Cologne motif emphasizes this: the box is a small piece of Cologne to take home or send away. Those hearing of the brand for the first time will find a reference to the city on the outside and a gin on the inside that suits the city: mild, fresh, and without much fuss.

For whom: Gifts, souvenirs, and gin curious

The box is suitable for anyone looking to give a small gift: as a hostess gift, a Secret Santa gift, or a thank you to the neighbor. It is a souvenir for Cologne visitors and an addition to a larger package. It is also an idea that doesn't take up much space and still looks like a real gift, whether as a small thank-you at the end of the year or a gift for a housewarming party. If you would rather give the berry-fruity gin as a gift, you will find the Rosé Gift Box with 100 ml. Both varieties in one box are available as a Double Gift Box. If you are looking for more content, choose the Gin de Cologne with 500 ml. For an overview of the entire range, see the Gin de Cologne page.

The box is not suitable for those looking for a supply for an evening with several guests: 100 ml is enough for two drinks.
