5. Cocktail Subscription Box: Give her the gift that keeps on giving with a subscription to a cocktail-themed box. There are various options available, ranging from monthly delivery of craft spirits, mixers, and recipe cards, to boxes that feature bartending tools, unique ingredients, and even educational materials.

6. Cocktail Masterclass or Workshop: If she's interested in taking her passion to the next level, consider gifting her a cocktail masterclass or workshop. Look for local distilleries, cocktail bars, or even online platforms that offer hands-on experiences, teaching her everything from classic recipes to advanced mixology techniques.

7. Personalized Bar Accessories: Add a personal touch to her bartending setup by gifting her custom engraved bar accessories.
