It’s that time of year to run through the schnappy checklist.

Stocked up on seasonal Sour Cherry schnapps – check. Gifted your Secret Santa a 60ml surprise pack – check. Bought the Seriously Sparkling Christmas Pack to add extra festive cheer to your celebrations – check. Added Christmas Gin to the “just-in-case” shelf – check. Hidden a bottle somewhere unexpected for future-you to discover – check. Spare bottle for Santa – check.

Now, what to do with all that schnapps?
