10 Holiday Spirits to Get You in the Holiday Spirit

Filed under: Spirits, Wine, Holiday Guides

Cheery Cherry Red Grand Marnier BottleSome people are hard to shop for -- what do you get for that person who has everything? Answer: Booze. Something consumable is almost always a solid choice, unless you know your friend is on some kind of special diet. Cupcakes are great, but a bottle of something imbiblious is festive and practically synonymous with celebration.

A simple bottle of wine can be a pretty lame gift. If you want your gift to matter, be noticed, or be remembered, go for something a little extra special. Here's our list of 10 great holiday bottles (and new-this-season treats) that will have your recipient charmed and delighted. Click through the gallery for pics of each!

1. La Vie Grand Marnier. This limited edition metallic red bottle (above right) is cheery and bright, and comes in an upbeat, vintage French poster-inspired box. $69.95.

Grand Marnier Macaroons

Filed under: Dining, Spirits

Molecular mixology, or the creative construction of cocktails through texture and viscosity changes, has been highlighted before but Grand Marnier's Cocktail Macaroons are the most edible of these inventions to greet our palates yet. Inside a carefully crafted macaroon will be one of four cocktail gelées mimicking either a Grand Marnier mojito, margarita, cosmo, or orange crush depending on the flavor you choose. Created in part by François Payard, of Payard Pâtisserie & Bistro in NYC, these little gems will be exclusively available in the city and online come mid-September. Spend $18 and you will receive a custom package with four macaroon treasures inside -- one of each flavor. It will be like a dessert and beverage tasting all in one!
