1. Cocktail Recipe Book: Help your grandson expand his knowledge and creativity with a cocktail recipe book. Look for one that covers a wide range of classic and contemporary recipes, and includes tips on bartending techniques and flavor combinations. This way, he can continue to learn and experiment with new flavors and mixology methods.

2. Bartending Set: A high-quality bartending set will give your grandson the essential tools and equipment he needs to make professional-quality cocktails. Look for a set that includes a shaker, jigger, strainer, muddler, bar spoon, and a mixing glass. This will allow him to hone his skills and recreate his favorite drinks at home.

3. Mixology Classes: Consider gifting your grandson a voucher or enrollment in a mixology class or workshop. This will give him the opportunity to learn from professional mixologists and interact with other cocktail enthusiasts. Whether it's an in-person class or an online course, he will gain valuable knowledge and hands-on experience in the art of mixology.

4. Unique Ingredients and Spirits: Help your grandson expand his cocktail repertoire by gifting him unique ingredients and spirits. Look for artisanal bitters, flavored syrups, or rare spirits that can add a special touch to his creations. You could also consider a subscription to a cocktail ingredient delivery service, allowing him to regularly receive new and exciting ingredients to experiment with.

5. Personalized Barware: Consider gifting your grandson personalized barware items, such as cocktail glasses or a cutting board engraved with his name or initials. This will add a personal touch to his home bar and make his cocktail-making experience even more enjoyable.

6. Mixology Tools and Gadgets: There are many innovative mixology tools and gadgets available that can enhance the cocktail-making process. For example, a molecular mixology kit could be a fun and educational gift, allowing your grandson to experiment with unique techniques and presentations. Other options include cocktail infusers, garnishing tools, or a portable cocktail smoker.

7. Cocktail Tasting Set: Consider gifting your grandson a set of miniature bottles of different spirits or pre-made cocktail mixers. This will allow him to taste and compare various flavors and brands, further developing his palate and helping him refine his mixing skills.

Remember, the best gifts are not just about the item itself but also show your thoughtfulness and support for your grandson's passion. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests and helps him further his mixology skills, you will undoubtedly make his birthday special and memorable.
