Five Star Gift Ideas

If your boyfriend is a fan of cocktail making, you have a great opportunity to come up with a Valentine's Day gift that is both meaningful and personalized. Here are a few ideas to get you started:


1. Cocktail-Making Kit: A cocktail-making kit is a perfect gift for your boyfriend. You can buy a pre-made kit, or you can create your own by curating a selection of items that your boyfriend would find useful, such as a shaker, muddler, jigger, and strainer. You can also add some unique ingredients, like specialty bitters or a unique simple syrup that he can use to experiment with new recipes.

2. Recipe Books: Give your boyfriend a recipe book that is full of cocktail recipes from some of the world's best mixologists. He will enjoy trying new and unique beverages and experimenting with global ingredients. You could also create a recipe book of your own by compiling some of your favourite cocktail recipes you’ve shared together or discovered.

3. Glassware Set: A set of high-quality glasses will make your boyfriend feel like a professional bartender. Look for classic bar glasses such as tumblers, martini glasses, or a highball glass, which are perfect for many different types of cocktails.

4. Barrel Aged Cocktail Kit: Consider a barrel aged cocktail kit, like the ones sold by The New York Times or Williams-Sonoma, which offer the boyfriend an experience of putting cocktail components into the barrel and wait for days to weeks before serving, turning him into a mixologist who creates aged bevies that stand out.

5. Cocktail Tasting Set: Buy your boyfriend a cocktail tasting set which he can use to sample different cocktails or spirits. Look for a set that includes miniature bottles of top-quality spirits, such as whiskey, gin, or tequila, or specialty cocktail mixers, allowing him to try something new.

6. Virtual Cocktail Classes: With the ongoing pandemic, it is always a great idea to enroll your boyfriend in a virtual cocktail-making class or private session, sign up for an online course, or attend a virtual class that he can view on his own time schedule or during a specific date.

Overall, when considering a Valentine's Day gift for your boyfriend that loves cocktail making, think of new and unique accessories, while also incorporating components that add to his favourite pastime without breaking the bank.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your first kiss.
