We've gone to town this year with our Dunoon-made Christmas gifts, special events and Christmas cocktails.
Is there such a thing as bottled Christmas cheer? With an added twist of Dunoon? We think so.
Look out your fancy glasses. Dust off your cocktail shakers. Pull on your festive jumpers.
It’s time for a POP-tastic Christmas.
We’re boxing up a special taste of the town and putting on festive events. We’ve even crafted some Christmas POPtails, which are our recipes for cocktails or mocktails with a sparkling dash of Dunoon Goes POP.
Taste of the Town box set
Oh yes, this could be Dunoon’s most delicious Christmas gift you can buy this year.
Our Dunoon Goes POP Taste of the Town gift boxset blends stories about fascinating people in our town’s history with delicious soft drinks inspired by these People Of Place (our POP).
Each bottle shares the story of the POP stars behind each flavour. From George Stirling, one of the first soft-drinks makers in Dunoon, to Margaret Parker, Victorian entrepreneur and revered dressmaker. Unwrap the label to discover the hidden story.
And, we’ve crafted four festive POPtail recipes, a mix of Christmassy cocktail and mocktail recipes you can make using our drink syrups. These recipes are available exclusively for boxset purchases.
Meet our flavours:
George Stirling's Ginger Ale
Margaret Parker's Parisian Lavender & Lemon
Bertie Bryden's Rhubob & Custard
Love in the American Year Cola
Our drinks syrups are:
Made in Dunoon by our master mixologists
Flavoured using plant-based ingredients
Vegan friendly
Packaged in refillable bottles
Raise a glass to our town this Christmas. The gift box is ready to pre-order from 1 November, and will be ready for collection from 1 December. You can pre-order your boxset online, at the Dunoon Market on Saturday, 29 November or through our self-serve kiosk.
