As Mother’s Day approaches, the search for the perfect gift to honor the people who mean the world to us begins.

If mom loves whiskey, you can’t go wrong with Jeptha Creed’s recent release of a 6-year-old wheated Bourbon made from an heirloom varietal corn dubbed bloody butcher for its bright red hue.

Further lending to this bottle’s giftability is the story and people behind the brand. Jeptha Creed Distillery out of Kentucky is run and co-owned by mother and daughter Duo Joyce and Autumn Nethery, who uphold the brand’s creed of heritage and tradition. 

Tenango Rum

A newcomer on the rum market, Tenango is certainly noteworthy. The brand celebrates women. Sofia Deleon created it in honor of her great-grandmother after being inspired by stories of her distilling Cusha, a traditional Guatemalan moonshine, at home.

Tenango rum also supports the empowerment of Guatemalan communities by employing women to hand-make the vibrant covers that adorn each bottle. The sheaths are Mayan woven patterns made on a traditional foot loom by a Guatemalan Kik’che’ Women’s co-op. $2 from every bottle sold will go to the co-op’s trade workers. So by gifting this bottle to celebrate your mother, you can help to support others.

For the margarita mom with rosé all-day vibes, look no further than Inspiro’s Tequila rosa reposado. The tequila is first aged rosé wine barrels from France before a final finish in pinot noir wine barrels. The result is a rosy pink reposado tequila with notes of red berries and cooked agave.

With Revivalist’s ethnobotanical gin, you can give mom a bouquet she can do more than look at. This gin is packed with botanicals like ashwagandha, verbena, rose hips, rose petals and hemp seed which uplift the floral flavors and bring a garden to the glass. The bottle is also a gift worth keeping long after the gin is gone with it’s beautiful green textured glass that can be repurposed into a vase to display flowers.
