The Best Mini Liquor Bottle Stocking Stuffers, Ranked
As we grow older, the childhoodenthusiasm surrounding Christmas morninginherently begins to wane. We know that under the tree we're more likely to find sweaters and underwear than the season's hottest talking animal toys and video game consoles. But that doesn't mean you can'tadd some fun to your Christmasmorning by spiking your stockings with a bit of Christmas spirit… or spirits.
只有50毫升的流行音乐,酒类缩影或迷你瓶(或您想称呼的任何东西)都是一个很棒的礼物主意,甚至是更好的库存填充物 - 无论您是选择家庭成员的东西can indulge in lateror want to surprise them with something perfect for tossing in their morning coffee right then and there. (Come on! It's the holidays!)
We reached out to the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, which provided us with a list of its 150 top-selling 50-milliliter "miniature" liquor bottle products throughout all 67 of its state-run NYLiquor & Wine Outlet locationswhich stock over 370 miniatures and serve nearly 12 million customers every year. From there, we selected a variety of popular products (and a couple not on their list) to create this ranking — from least appropriate to most. Happy stocking stuffing!
(不是:以下是我们最初在2017年发布的排名的更新。)
25. Everclear
Everyone, it's Christmas. Chill out. No.
24. Flavored Vodka (All Brands)
调味伏特加酒非常受欢迎。新罕布什尔州最畅销的缩影清单与他们相关。单独的Smirnoff列表中有九种不同的品种:亲吻焦糖(自2017年首次覆盖以来,它已升至该清单的顶部),Raspberry,Strawberry,Blueberry,Green Apple,Green Apple,Wallmelon,Wallmelon,Wallmelon,Vanilla,Vanilla,Orange和Citrus。但是圣诞节的早晨是在壁炉旁感到温暖和舒适的开放礼物。将风味的伏特加酒放在您的酒柜中,直到除夕。From $1 attotalwine.com
23. Vodka (All Brands)
Plenty of unflavored vodkas made the list of the best-selling miniatures as well — withSmirnoff(#4)和铁托的(#6) landing in the top ten. But though they may be fine vodkas, they're not exactly exciting stocking stuffers. Vodka is rarely the first drink you want to see in the a.m. — unless you're making Bloody Marys. Otherwise, it's not quite a Christmas morning tradition in most households.从1.79美元每个totalwine.com
22. Bacardi Superior Rum
"Offering a product in a 50-millilter size gives our customers a chance to try some of the new products we're bringing into New Hampshire," Joseph Mollica, chairman of the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, told me via email. That may explain why Bacardi topped out at #68 on the list — everyone is familiar with it and it's quite as exciting in small doses. Ideally, stocking stuffers in general, not just with booze, provide a quick hit of instant gratification. That's kind of the point: They're like an appetizer for opening presents. So pulling out only a shot's worth of rum is likely to induce a feeling of "well, what am I supposed to do with this right now?"$2 each attotalwine.com
21. Jose Cuervo Especial
If you happen to be celebrating Christmas in a tropical paradise, then send tequila up towards the top of this list. But if like most Americans you're spending December battling the bitter cold, then Jose Cuervo is just going to leave you yearning — not a good way to start the holiday.$2.29 each atdrizly.com
21a. Casamigos
In a change from 2017, now, all three Casamigos tequilas can be found on New Hampshire's list — Blanco (#26), Reposado (#93), and Anejo (#98). Sure, the above stuff about tequila holds true, but, hey, for mom's stocking, you can't go wrong with whispers of George Clooney.
20.Jagermeister
With Jäger, you really have to consider the recipient. Will some people wonder why you're trying to turn Christmas morning into a rowdy house party? Yes. Will others be glad you did? Maybe.$2 each atdrizly.com
19. Yukon Jack
At #10, Yukon Jack is the best-selling non-cinnamon-flavored whisky on New Hampshire's list. Is pulling 50 milliliters of it out of your stocking going to give you the child-like joy of when you unwrapped your Nintendo 64? No. But will it eventually get put to good use? You betcha. $2 each attotalwine.com
18. Tanqueray
杜松子酒在我们的畅销书榜单上的人数不足。坦克雷(Tanqueray)是表现最佳的人,仍然排名第82。诚然,杜松子酒在圣诞节早晨的即时满足量表上表现不佳,但是那些植物风味将在当天晚些时候完美地适合节日精神。$4 each atdrizly.com
17. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
Introduced in 2018, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey wasn't even around when we first compiled this list. But in 2021, it's New Hampshire's 11th most popular miniature. Do you love peanut butter? Do you love whiskey? Is it right for Christmas? These are questions only you can answer.
16.杰克·丹尼尔(Jack Daniel)
Jack Daniel's might be the ultimate utilitarian choice — and it lands at 23rd on the best seller list. Consider it the socks of stocking stuffers: A Christmas gift standard that gets the job done.$3 each attotalwine.com
15. Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
A solid spirit for people who find whiskey too rough around the edges but who also find the sweetness of schnapps grating, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is a familiar way to split the difference between flavor and booziness, and it can work in eggnog, hot chocolate, or coffee.$1.79 attotalwine.com
14. Dr. McGillicuddy's Butterscotch Schnapps
没有人说你应该开始圣诞早晨好g by doing a shot, but if you decide that's your plan, you could definitely find worse ways to get in the holiday spirit than with a bit of butterschotch schnapps. At #13, Dr. McGillicuddy's is the most popular brand on the list.
13. Johnnie Walker Red Label (or Any Decent Scotch)
Yes, this will sound a bit counterintuitive, but complaining about receiving Scotch for Christmas is un-American – even if it's only 50 milliliters worth.$3 attotalwine.com
12. Ole烟熏苹果派月光
Typically, packaging plays second fiddle to the liquid inside, but on Christmas morning you just want to pull something fun out of your stocking. Ole Smoky puts its flavored moonshines into cute little mason jars that are guaranteed to get a smile.$3 atgarysvwin德赢ac米兰wine.com
11. Jameson Irish Whiskey
Unsurprisingly, at #16, Jameson is the best-selling Irish whiskey on our list. Admittedly, some might find it as an aggressive start to the holiday, but hey, if you're going to "Irish up" your coffee, you might as well do it the right way.$3.79 each attotalwine.com
10. Sambuca Romana
Sambuca is one of those liquors that can elicit strong reactions on both sides, but remains popular as New Hampshire's 24th best seller. And the spirit has a long tradition of being mixed with coffee. Granted, that's usually at the end of the night, but hey, it is a holiday.$3 atdrizly.com
9. Grand Marnier
For those who consider an Irish coffee a bit much in the morning, maybe "Frenching up" your coffee is more your style. Grand Marnier is another one of those mini-bottles that scores bonus points for its recognizable packaging.$4.49 attotalwine.com
8. Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
Love it or hate it, Fireball continues to be a perennial crowd-pleaser.
它不仅是新罕布什尔州的最畅销的微型,而且它的10件包是该州第二销量最畅销的50毫升产品和火球派对桶排名第5位。它不止于此。其他新颖的包装也列出了列表:糖果甘蔗(#22),情人节10包(#90)和捣蛋袋(#112)。因此,尽管火球可能不是您想在圣诞节早晨看到的第一次饮料,但它可能会让房子里的某人开心。而且,如果整天没有在某个时候陷入困境,那么您的假期可能不会像以前那样喜庆。$1 each attotalwine.com
7. Amaretto Disaronno
As an easy-drinking liqueur in an iconic bottle, Disaronno feels solid coming out of the stocking and can work either in coffee or as a straight morning sipper.$3.49 atdrizly.com
6. Peppermint Schnapps (All Brands)
哪种风味比薄荷更好地包裹圣诞节?是的,薄荷schnapps本身可能有点多,但是在厨房里与一些热巧克力协调了袜子,您将获得保证的赢家。另外,薄荷缩影非常受欢迎:在#3时,McGillicuddy博士的Mentolmint是第一个以名称为“火球”的产品,而Rumpleminze在名单上排名第8位。$1.29 atdrizly.com
5. Frangelico
Even if you avoid flavored coffees, hazelnut and coffee is one of those combinations that just works. Frangelico brings that hazelnut taste in a sleek-looking bottle that'll slip right into any stocking with ease.
4. Rumchata
Though RumChata might not be the first liquor to come to mind when mixing drinks, it passes all of the Christmas morning tests: goes in coffee, goes in hot chocolate, a bit of sweetness, a bit of seasonal spice.$1.79 attotalwine.com
3. Kahlua
For most of us, coffee is the first beverage you'll seek on December 25. Therefore, this most-popular coffee-flavored liquor (at #29) has you covered straight out of the stocking whether you need something to add to your cup of joe or just want to get that coffee taste on your tongue.
2. Godiva Dark Chocolate Liqueur
什么是最常见的袜子?当然,糖果 - 尤其是巧克力。即使您一年中没有其他任何时间为Chocolate Liquateur放松,Godiva Miniature也是成人糖果。
1. Baileys Irish Cream
No miniature is better prepared to immediately go into action on Christmas morning than Baileys. Open, dump into coffee, done. Merry Christmas.$4 each attotalwine.com
