Our cocktail kit gifts are a very classy gift choice for any occasion while being easy to create. The great part of our cocktail making kit is that it is perfect for him, a holiday, bachelor/bachelorette party, birthday or for no reason at all.
turns out that purchasing cocktail kits is very tricky in the US. Mostly because of each state’s liquor laws, the choices are somewhat limited. Many available cocktail kits are either expensive or the alcohol needs to be purchased separately.
We decided to create our own cocktail kit gifts that will impress anyone that receives it and that includes you!
Whenever you are looking for a special gift for him or your best girlfriend, creating these cocktail kit gifts is both fun and is memorable.

Cocktail Kit Gifts
If you’ve ever gotten a gift basket in the mail, you probably noticed that the packaging looks like full size items are included, when in reality mini items are actually enclosed.
When you create your own, you can include actual full size items. We use a classy leather carrier for our cocktail kits. It is elegant, made of leather and can and will be used around the house after the contents are gone. I really love the carrier all on its own!
All of the cocktail kits include glasses which have to be purchased in sets of 4 or 6. We only added two per kit, while keeping the rest for other cocktail making kits.
We added crinkle filler for a nice presentation, although you can use whatever you wish. Finish with these clear basket bags and a ribbon and the presentation is complete!
Adding specialty salts and sugars are a perfect addition. We love the specialty sugars to add sparkle to our cocktails and alcohol infusions are another great option to add.
We also have our Craft Cocktail Infusion kits that can be included in addition to your baskets or alone! We have 22 cocktail flavors to choose from and make a great gift.
Watch this short video to see how easy it is to use our infusions!
