Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who enjoys mixing and creating custom cocktails, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas to consider. Here are a few options that could enhance her passion for mixology and show her how much you support her interests:

1. Cocktail Recipe Book: A high-quality cocktail recipe book would be a great addition to her collection. Look for one that features a variety of unique and creative recipes, from classic cocktails to modern twists. You can even find books that focus specifically on her favorite type of spirits or include tips and techniques for mixing drinks.

2. Premium Spirits or Bitters Set: Purchase a set of premium spirits or craft bitters that can be used as ingredients in her cocktails. Look for unique and exotic flavors that she may not have tried before, such as aromatic bitters or artisanal gin. These high-quality ingredients will allow her to experiment and create a wider range of flavors.

3. Custom Cocktail Shaker or Bar Tools: Consider gifting her a personalized cocktail shaker or a set of specialized bar tools. Look for bar tools that match her style or personality, such as a rose gold cocktail shaker or a vintage-inspired mixing glass. You can also have her name or initials engraved on the tools to add a personal touch.

4. Mixology Classes or Workshops: Surprise her with an experience rather than a physical gift. Treat her to a mixology class or workshop where she can learn new techniques and expand her skills. This would not only give her an opportunity to enhance her passion but also provide a memorable experience and maybe even introduce her to like-minded individuals.

5. Unique Glassware: Consider gifting her a set of unique or vintage-inspired glassware. Look for glasses that match her style or reflect her favorite cocktail types. For example, if she enjoys margaritas, you could get her a set of colorful, stemmed margarita glasses. These specialized glasses will elevate her cocktail presentation and make the experience more enjoyable.

6. Subscription to a Cocktail Subscription Box: Consider subscribing her to a cocktail subscription box service. These services deliver curated cocktail ingredients, recipes, and occasionally bar tools directly to her doorstep on a monthly basis. It's a great way for her to explore new flavors, try different recipes, and expand her mixology skills.

7. Cocktail Accessories: Explore unique cocktail accessories that could be useful while preparing and serving drinks. For example, a set of reusable stainless steel straws, cocktail muddler, or a stylish drink garnish kit could be a thoughtful choice.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your daughter that you appreciate and support her interests. Choose a gift that aligns with her love for mixology and personalize it to reflect her style and preferences. By selecting something meaningful and personal, you can ensure that your gift will be cherished and used for years to come.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
