Five Star Gift Ideas

For your husband who enjoys experimenting with mixology and cocktail-making, I have a few gift ideas that I think he will love. These gifts are not only practical but will also enhance his cocktail-making experience.

1. Cocktail Recipe Book: Consider getting him a cocktail recipe book to expand his mixology skills. Look for one that offers a wide variety of recipes, including classic cocktails and unique creations. This will inspire him to try new combinations and experiment with different flavors. Some popular options include "The Craft of the Cocktail" by Dale DeGroff and "Cocktail Codex" by Alex Day.

2. Mixology Kit: A mixology kit is a great gift for any cocktail enthusiast. Look for a set that includes essential tools such as a shaker, jigger, strainer, muddler, and bar spoon. This will provide him with all the necessary equipment to create professional-quality cocktails at home. Additionally, you can consider a personalized cocktail shaker or bar tools with his initials engraved on them for an extra touch of thoughtfulness.

3. Premium Spirits: To enhance his cocktail-making experience, consider gifting him a bottle of premium spirits. Whether it's his favorite whiskey, gin, or tequila, choose a bottle that is unique and of high quality. You can also think about getting him a set of mini-bottles, which will allow him to experiment with different flavors and ingredients while trying out new cocktail recipes.

4. Cocktail Ingredients: Help him expand his arsenal of cocktail ingredients by gifting him a selection of unique and high-quality mixers, bitters, and syrups. Look for artisanal or craft brands that offer interesting flavor profiles, such as aromatic bitters, flavored syrups, or unique liqueurs. This will allow him to experiment with diverse flavors and create cocktails with a personalized touch.

5. Cocktail-Making Class or Experience: Consider surprising him with a cocktail-making class or experience. Many cities offer mixology classes where he can learn new techniques, gain insights from professional mixologists, and even create his own signature cocktail. This is a fun and educational gift that will help him expand his knowledge and skills in mixology.

Remember, the best gift is something that aligns with his interests and shows that you truly understand his passion for mixology. By choosing a thoughtful and personalized gift, you can make his birthday extra special and inspire him to continue exploring his love for cocktails.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
