Gift-giving can be tricky if you don’t know what to get someone. The trick is to look for hidden clues. After all, your bestie might say they don’t want anything, but if they’re a big fan of craft cocktails and bar carts, it’s safe to say a cocktail-themed gift could be a big hit.

While you could absolutely buy them a bottle of their favorite booze and call it a day, the holidays call for a bit more care (unless, of course, you go with a bottle like King Street Vodka, which is stunning and bound to become a vase once emptied). With that in mind, we rounded up 10 sure-to-please gifts for the cocktail lover in your life. Whichever you choose, they’re sure to swoon.

The Drinkworks Home Bar is just as intuitive as a Keurig. Simply pick a cocktail, pop in a pod, put a cup into place, and within minutes, a craft-worthy cocktail will be at their fingertips.


Dirty Cookie Christmas Cookie Shot Assortment $33
