I’ve got a taste for high quality gin and tonic with aromatic Japanese Roku or Whitley Neill after trying them on nights out but it’s not good for the wallet. Yet my Christmas is looking extra rosy after finding a raft of big discount deals for Amazon Prime members during today’s Big Deals Day.
The extra low prices only apply until the end of today, Wednesday October 9, so my tip is to get in there quick. Some of the best gin deals I’ve found include 27% off a bottle of Edinburgh Gin’s Christmas Gin slashed from £34 to £24.70 here.

For something a little different there’s a Sophie Ellis Bextor limited edition gin with a distinctive bottle that makes for a distinctive Christmas gift.
The Pink Marmalade Sophie Ellis Bextor Gin was made in a small batch and is described as “colour changing”. Instead of £29.95 for the 50cl bottle, it’s now £23.95 here but only until midnight. It’s vegan and gluten free too.
The larger 70cl bottle is reduced from £34.95 down to £27.95 here.

The Roku gin is normally £33 but shoppers can get it on Amazon today for £23.75 here. This craft gin has floral notes of Sancho pepper and the scent of cherry blossoms and green tea that makes it distinctive. I find it goes well with a zingy or Mediterranean tonic.
Ukiyo Blossom gin, which comes in a beautifully distinctive pink and turquoise bottle and has flavours of juniper, cherry blossom and orange, is a premium gin that has a regular price of £39.99 for the 70cl bottle. The Ukiyo deal means it is now £24.70 - an incredible 38% cheaper here.
When it comes to British gins, there’s plenty more deals. No.3 London Dry Gin has been voted the best in the world four times and a bottle in an Amazon Exclusive Box is reduced from £33.10 down to £28.14 here.
