A lot of my favorite blogs will do gift guides around the holidays. I’ve always loved them, because they’re a great way to find out about nifty new products and get ideas for family and friends. There’s a lot of cocktail stuff out there I’d love to give (or get!) this Christmas, but here are some favorites that have caught my eye.
1. Feather Bottle Opener from H&M Home, $12.99. I just bought one of these a couple of days ago! It’s a perfect combination of my two great loves, birds and beer.
2. St. George Gin Sampler, ~$30. St. George makes some really lovely, unique gins and this is a great way to try them all. It includes their Terroir, Botanivore, and Dry Rye gins. Look for it at your local liquor store.
3. Orb Cocktail Shaker from Crate & Barrel, $24.95. I know Boston shakers are supposed to be the best, but I can’t get over the sleek look of this copper cobbler shaker.
4. Double Old Fashioned Glasses from Williams Sonoma, $55.96. I love the size and that they’re all different.
5. Cocktail Matches from Waiting on Martha, $11. Flame that orange peel with style.
6. Silicone Ice Cube Trays from Amazon.com, $16.95. We’ve had these for a while now, and I love them. They’re much easier to use than the spherical molds, and one of these jumbo cubes is perfect for a glass of bourbon.
7. Scrappy’s Bitters Gift Box, ~$25. Includes Lavender, Cardamom, Chocolate, and Grapefruit bitters. Available from a number of online retailers, including Amazon.
8. Bullseye Cocktail Picks from West Elm, $19. I see so many cute cocktail picks in photographs but they can be pretty hard to find. I love these arrow-shaped ones.
Happy Holidays!
