3 Baileys x Smoor Gifting Ideas For This Festive Season
Chocolates and an exquisite bottle of Irish cream liqueur: this is one of the best festive presents to offer friends and loved ones this season. But what about that one person who likes both, a good dessert and a cocktail rolled into one? That’s where the Baileys x SMOOR collection comes in, to put a rich and luxe spin on the season’s gifting.
Festive gifting is all about bringing together elements that spell festive greetings and a luxe quality befitting the season. What better combination than chocolates and an exquisite bottle of Irish cream liqueur to fit the bill this season? And for those among your loved ones who are fond of a good dessert as well as a good cocktail, the best gift can be a box of chocolates from the Baileys x SMOOR collection available across three different expressions, well-made for your festive gifting moments.
Baileys x SMOOR Dessert Collection: Festive Shots
The first in this non-alcoholic, luxurious collection of desserts are the festive shots, which come in three different flavours. These are tiny, rich chocolate balls filled with rich, chocolatey nuances, whether it is a classic, a creamy berry or a sea salt caramel. When you are thinking about gifting a loved one something extra special, a box of such chocolate balls, which are a coming together of luxury and flavour, can be a collection that brings a splendid festive touch to the present.
Recommended Pairing: Pair chocolate balls with homemade cocktails such as a mudslide, so the two chocolatey treats come together in a rather luxurious and utterly rich pairing of complementary flavours.
Baileys x SMOOR Dessert Collection: Flavoured Chocolate Bars
Imagine the look of sheer joy on the face of a loved one when they receive a gift box filled with premium chocolate bars. That’s exactly the effect that the SMOOR chocolate bars can potentially produce this festive season. Think flavours like creamy berries and sea salt caramel as those accentuating chocolate bars, for that festive nudge. The dessert becomes a stunning rendezvous between SMOOR’s couverture chocolate and the signature flavours it features. Laced with just a light Irish chocolatey touch, the dessert can be the perfect alternative to add to a gift hamper containing other customised and assorted goodies.
Recommended Pairing: If presenting the chocolate bars as a dessert offering at home after dinner, an interesting alternative would be to serve them with a classic espresso martini cocktail. The aromas of freshly brewed coffee will match the deep flavours of the chocolatey dessert, to make up the perfect post-dinner treat.
Baileys x SMOOR Dessert Collection: Classic Cake
Nothing spells all things festive and filled with merriment than a well-made cake. It is a marker of friends and loved ones coming together for dinner and dessert to mark the special occasion. A good cake is one dessert which fits right into the vibe of a party, filled with laughter and all manner of festive gaiety. The SMOOR classic cake becomes an excellent option for exactly such evenings. A sophisticated, well-crafted chocolate dessert layered with an exquisite richness, this is the best present to bring to a dinner party. Guests can slice into the cake post-dinner as a festive dessert served with a side of chocolate crumble and gourmet ice cream.
Recommended Pairing: Serve a slice of cake alongside an affogato float laced with just a couple of tablespoons of Irish cream liqueur. The earthy and creamy notes of the coffee will in turn, complement and contrast the chocolatey yet layered flavours of the cake, which then evolves as a dessert with a festive nuance and a luxurious effect. Make the affogato float pop even more with a cranberry compote garnish.
