Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandma who enjoys home bartending and mixology, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will truly make her happy this Christmas.

1. Cocktail Recipe Book: Look for a cocktail recipe book that includes classic and modern drink recipes. Opt for a book that caters to both beginners and experienced mixologists, so she can continue to expand her skills.

2. Bartender Tools Set: Help your grandma elevate her home bartending experience with a high-quality bartender tools set. Look for one that includes essential tools like a shaker, jigger, muddler, strainer, and a mixing spoon. This set will enhance her cocktail-making skills and make her feel like a professional mixologist.

3. Unique Glassware: Consider gifting your grandma a set of unique and stylish glassware for her cocktails. Look for glasses that match her personality and style, such as vintage-inspired coupe glasses, elegant martini glasses, or artisanal whiskey glasses. These will add a touch of sophistication to her home bar and make her drinks look even more impressive.

4. Craft Spirits or Ingredients: If your grandma enjoys experimenting with different flavors and ingredients, surprise her with a set of craft spirits or unique ingredients for her cocktails. This could include artisanal bitters, flavored syrups, premium liqueurs, or even a small selection of high-quality spirits. These additions will allow her to create new and exciting drink combinations.

5. Cocktail-Making Classes: If you want to go the extra mile, consider gifting your grandma a gift certificate for cocktail-making classes. Look for local mixology schools or workshops where she can learn new techniques, discover cocktail trends, and have hands-on experience with professional bartenders. This gift will not only expand her knowledge but also provide her with a unique and interactive experience.

6. Personalized Bar Accessories: Add a personal touch to her home bar by gifting her personalized bar accessories. You can consider engraved cocktail stirrers, customized cocktail napkins with her initials, or a personalized wooden cocktail muddler. These thoughtful additions will make her feel special and enhance her home bartending experience.

7. Subscription Box: Consider signing your grandma up for a cocktail subscription box that delivers unique and curated ingredients, recipes, and tools directly to her doorstep. There are various subscription services available that cater specifically to home mixologists, offering a hassle-free way to discover new flavors and experiment with different drinks.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is the thought and effort put into selecting something that aligns with her interests and passions. By acknowledging her love for home bartending and mixology, you're showing her that you truly care and want to support her hobbies.

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