Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys experimenting with mixology, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift options to consider. Here are a few ideas that may pique your interest:

1. Mixology Bar Tool Set: Help elevate your son's cocktail-making experience with a high-quality bar tool set. Look for one that includes essential tools like a cocktail shaker, muddler, jigger, strainer, and stirring spoon. This set will not only enhance his mixology skills but also add a professional touch to his home bar.

2. Craft Cocktail Recipe Book: Expand his mixology repertoire with a craft cocktail recipe book. Look for one that focuses on unique and adventurous cocktails, maybe even one that explores different themes or flavors. This will provide him with an endless source of inspiration and allow him to try out new and exciting recipes.

3. Unique Ingredients: To add a personal touch to his mixology experiments, consider gifting him some unique and high-quality cocktail ingredients. This could include artisanal bitters, flavored syrups, or even rare spirits that are not easily found. These ingredients will allow him to create one-of-a-kind cocktails and explore new flavor profiles.

4. Cocktail-Making Class: If your son is passionate about mixology, he might enjoy attending a cocktail-making class. Look for local establishments that offer classes or workshops where he can learn new techniques from professionals. This hands-on experience will enhance his skills and provide him with an opportunity to connect with other cocktail enthusiasts.

5. Personalized Barware: Make his mixology experience even more special by gifting him personalized barware. This could include engraved glasses, a customized cocktail shaker, or even a monogrammed cocktail mixing glass. Personalizing his tools will add a thoughtful and unique touch to his mixology endeavors.

6. Subscription Box: Consider a cocktail-themed subscription box that delivers monthly ingredients, recipes, and accessories directly to your son's doorstep. These boxes often feature curated cocktail kits with everything he needs to create delicious beverages. It's a gift that keeps on giving and allows him to continually explore and experiment.

7. Mixology Masterclass: Treat your son to an online mixology masterclass taught by renowned mixologists. These classes often provide in-depth knowledge on cocktail techniques, ingredients, and flavor pairings. It's a great way for him to learn from experts in the field and enhance his mixology skills further.

Remember that the most important aspect of your gift is to show your son that you support and appreciate his passion for mixology. Whatever you choose, make sure it aligns with his interests and allows him to continue exploring and experimenting with his favorite hobby.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
