Holiday Gift Guide Liquid Courage

Walnut bar

With the winter holidays just around the corner, we carefully put together gift lists for every person in your life. The holidays are the perfect time to sit back and relax with a glass of wine, a specialty cocktail or a craft brew. However, giving away alcohol can be tricky, especially if your intended recipient is picky about their beverages. If you have trouble shopping for the bar lover in your life, check out our guide to giving away liquid courage.

Whiskey Ice Wedge

Buying whiskey for an enthusiast is almost impossible. So skip the whole ordeal of picking the wrong bottle at the liquor store and grab a whiskey ice wedge instead. It will keep the brown stuff cold without diluting it, and it will keep your whiskey enthusiast happy without running out of your bank account.

The whiskey wedge is available from MoMA’s online shop and costs $ 18.

Carry-On Cocktail Kit

Carry On Cocktail Kit

The compact carry-on cocktail kit is ideal for frequent travelers or for those who like their drinks to take away. It doesn’t come with real alcohol, but gives you all the ingredients to make two drinks while at 30,000 feet. We’re a fan of the old fashioned mix, but they also offer mixes for making Moscow Mules, Bloody Marys, and a variety of other drinks.

The Carry-On Cocktail Kit is available through W&P Design and costs $ 24.
