28 best bar gifts and bottles of liquor for a polished drinker

What I like about Shaker Spoon is that not only are all the ingredients (minus the booze) packaged for you to make interesting cocktails, but what’s inside is very difficult to find anywhere locally. We’re talking artisanal cherry vanilla bitters, pineapple shrub, and a spritz bottle of white sage hydrosol.

There are recipes for each themed box, such as Fall for Mezcal or All Eyes on Rye, but you can also have fun experimenting with the ingredients. A single box costs $59 or $50 if you subscribe. Either way, it will provide plenty of cocktail inspiration for the aspiring bartender on your list.
