Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys mixology and craft cocktail creation, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas you could consider to enhance his hobby and show your support for his passion. Here are a few options that might intrigue him:

1. Cocktail Recipe Book: Consider giving your son a comprehensive cocktail recipe book that includes a diverse range of classic and innovative cocktail recipes. Look for a book that delves into mixology techniques, flavor profiles, and interesting combinations that would challenge and inspire him to experiment with his own creations.

2. Mixology Kit: A mixology kit is a perfect gift for someone who loves crafting cocktails. Look for a high-quality kit that includes essential tools like a shaker, jigger, strainer, muddler, and bar spoon. Some kits even include unique ingredients and garnishes to add an extra touch of creativity.

3. Craft Spirits: Surprise your son with a selection of high-quality craft spirits to explore and experiment with. Look for unique and artisanal spirits such as small-batch gin, aged rum, or locally distilled whiskey. This can introduce him to new flavors and inspire him to create innovative cocktail recipes.

4. Cocktail Making Classes: Give your son the opportunity to learn from professionals by enrolling him in a cocktail-making class or workshop. These classes can provide valuable insights into mixology techniques, flavor combinations, and the art of presentation. Plus, he can gain knowledge from industry experts and connect with fellow cocktail enthusiasts.

5. Personalized Barware: Consider gifting your son a set of barware engraved with his initials or a witty cocktail-related quote. This personalized touch will make the gift unique and special to him. Look for items like high-quality glasses, cocktail shakers, or muddlers that he can proudly display and use when mixing his favorite drinks.

6. Subscription to a Cocktail Kit: Nowadays, there are subscription services that deliver curated cocktail kits right to your doorstep. These kits typically include all the ingredients, recipes, and instructions needed to create unique cocktails at home. Subscribing your son to such a service would allow him to explore different flavors and techniques on a regular basis.

7. Home Bar Decor: Enhance your son's mixology experience by gifting him some decorative items for his home bar. Consider unique items like vintage-inspired bar signs, stylish coasters, or an elegant glassware set. These small touches can help create a personalized and inviting ambiance for his cocktail-making adventures.

Remember, the best gift is one that aligns with your son's interests and passions. By choosing something that supports his mixology hobby, you can give him a meaningful and personal gift that he will truly appreciate.

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.”
