Nothing says happy holidays like a set of homemade cocktail kits tailored to your friends’ and family members’ specific beverage preferences. They’re cheap, easy to make, fun to receive and delicious to enjoy. They also happen to make terrific bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts, party favors for baby showers and congratulatory gifts for any celebratory occasion.
Why Personalized Gifts?
Gift giving is an art. You should know the recipient well enough to choose a gift they will enjoy, while also adding your own personal touch. Cocktail kits allow you to do just that — and in a fun and unique way. If you know your friends’ or family members’ favorite beverages, fill your gift sets with the proper tools and ingredients to create a delicious treat. A cocktail kit doesn’t have to include alcohol — a virgin kit is equally appreciated.
Make a Cocktail Kit
You can go all out with your cocktail kit or keep it nice and simple. For a simple kit, all you need is a mason jar, a canned beverage such as soda, coffee or an energy drink, a bottle of liquor or other mixer and some string to hold everything together. Cocktails that are more complex require a more complicated kit, where you’ll need a larger box, a few mixers, a jigger for measuring, a garnish, and, if you’re feeling extra generous, a shaker to mix the drink and a glass or two to enjoy the finished cocktail.
Mix It Up
Becoming the best gift giver doesn’t have to cost a ton of money or take hours of your time, and it doesn’t have to be hard. Whether you’re a DIY master or don’t have a creative bone in your body, the cocktail kit is a homemade gift you can pull off. The best part? No matter what the occasion, a cocktail kit will always bring a smile to the face of the person receiving your thoughtful and personalized gift.
