Mother's Day 2025
Whether you’re spending it together or raising a toast from afar, these are the bottles she’ll love this Mother’s Day.
Mums. We love them here at Milroy’s. Hands-on mums. The mums you don’t see very often. Mums who live just around the corner who help with our own childcare. Mums with adopted children. Stepmums. Those who are mother figures in our lives. Mums off adventuring and revelling in a sense of self after raising children. And those to who long to be mums. Mothering takes all kinds of forms and we’ll be raising a glass to every single one on Sunday 30 March.
Awesome mums deserve something special in their glass all year round. And that’s especially true on Mother’s Day. Whether you’re celebrating together or sending a treat through the post, we’ve got just the bottle. Whatever her palate, these delights will make her day.

Isle of Harris Gin
£42.95
View product →If your mum prefers her drinks juniper-scented, this gorgeous bottling from Isle of Harris is all you need this Mother’s Day. Yes, it's beautiful (just look at it!), but it’s strikingly delicious, too. It’s made on the Hebridean island, with a key botanical the sugar kelp that’s hand-harvested from the local shoreline. With coriander seed, cubeb pepper, bitter orange peel, angelica root, cassia bark, orris root, liquorice root and, of course, juniper, it’s the ideal Martini gin.

Crafted at Jamaica's Appleton Estate, this is a fantastically aged molasses-based rum bursting with tropical fruit, sweet spice and gorgeous fudge notes. Pour it out over ice in the garden and dream.
