1. Bombay Sapphire (750 ml bottle), $22.99
Naturally, the anchor of gifting this cocktail kit is Bombay Sapphire. Not just because the all-natural and 100% sustainably sourced botanicals taste delightful and are so unique they invite creativity into the mixology process, but also because the distinctive blue bottle looks stunning on any bar cart.
True cocktail connoisseurs know the best way to imbibe a Bombay & Tonic is via a balloon glass (and if you didn't know, now you and the lucky recipient of this gift have a fun fact to share at cocktail parties).
A good set of drink charms is a staple in any amateur mixologist's toolkit, and this festive bunch gets folks in the mood for the countdown to midnight.
Top off that stellar sip with a metal straw to bring a touch of sustainability to the imbibing experience.
A regular spoon might do the trick, but since the name of the game here is leveling up the cocktail experience, add a brass muddling spoon for stirring their concoctions into their gift.
6. Williams Sonoma Citrus Glass Bowls, $50 (set of four)
A bold set of glass bowls cleverly holds drink garnishes or savory snacks.
7. DRAM Wild Mountain Sage Bitters and Citrus Bitters, $18
The cocktail lover always has a bevy of aromatic bitters to choose from, so help them expand their collection with either a fragrant orange peel and or a wild sage infusion (or both!).
For the person who's new to DIY cocktails (or anyone who could use a little creativity or inspiration boost), this recipe book provides over 100 cocktail recipes to either riff off of or recreate exactly.
A gilded plant vessel adds an extra element of flair to any bar cart or prep space.
10. La Double J Cocktail Napkins, $45 (set of four)
Linen napkins with a cheeky print serve up drinks in style.
Top off that dazzling Bombay & Tonic with a twist of dried orange — because garnishes automatically make any cocktail feel fancier.
