Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys experimenting with cocktail recipes, there are several meaningful and personal gift options that would enhance his mixology skills and show your support for his passion. Here are a few ideas:

1. Mixology Tool Set: A comprehensive mixology tool set would be a perfect gift for your son. Look for a set that includes essential bar tools such as a shaker, jigger, muddler, strainer, and cocktail spoon. This set will not only provide him with the necessary tools but also inspire him to explore new recipes and techniques.

2. Unique Cocktail Glasses: Surprise your son with a set of unique and stylish cocktail glasses. Consider options like classic coupe glasses, modern stemless glasses, or vintage-inspired tiki glasses. Choosing glasses that match his personality and style will make his cocktail experience even more enjoyable.

3. Craft Cocktail Syrups: Help your son expand his flavor palette by giving him a selection of craft cocktail syrups. These syrups come in a variety of flavors such as lavender, elderflower, or spicy ginger, allowing him to experiment with different taste combinations. This gift will add a new dimension to his cocktail creations and encourage him to think outside the box.

4. Cocktail Recipe Book: Enhance your son's mixology knowledge with a cocktail recipe book. Look for books that specialize in unique and innovative recipes, featuring classic cocktails as well as modern creations. A recipe book will provide him with inspiration, guidance, and techniques to further develop his skills.

5. Craft Gin or Whiskey Set: If your son enjoys creating cocktails with a particular spirit, consider gifting him a craft gin or whiskey set. These sets often include a selection of premium spirits with different flavor profiles, allowing him to experiment with various brands and types. This gift will enhance his understanding of different spirits and elevate his cocktail-making abilities.

6. Mixology Classes: Take your son's passion to the next level by booking him a mixology class or workshop. This experience will not only provide hands-on training and guidance from professional mixologists but also allow him to connect with other cocktail enthusiasts. It's a unique gift that will surely leave a lasting impression.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to choose something that aligns with your son's interests and passions. By selecting a meaningful gift that supports his cocktail experimentation, you are showing your son that you appreciate and encourage his creative pursuits.

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.”
