Five Star Gift Ideas

For your granddaughter who is passionate about experimenting with mixology and creating new cocktails, I have some gift ideas that will not only enhance her skills but also make her feel inspired and excited to expand her knowledge in this field.

1. Mixology Kit: A comprehensive mixology kit would be an excellent gift for her. Look for one that includes essential tools like a cocktail shaker, muddler, jigger, strainer, and bar spoon. Having a complete set will allow her to experiment with different techniques and create a variety of cocktails.

2. Craft Cocktail Recipe Book: There are many cocktail recipe books available that provide step-by-step instructions and inspiration for creating unique and delicious cocktails. Look for one that focuses on craft cocktails, as it will offer more advanced techniques and interesting flavor combinations for her to explore.

3. Unique Ingredients: Help her expand her ingredient collection with some unique and high-quality spirits, bitters, or flavored syrups. Look for artisanal or small-batch products to add a touch of specialty and craftsmanship to her creations. Exotic ingredients like infused liqueurs, craft bitters, or unusual herbs and spices can also elevate her cocktails to the next level.

4. Cocktail Masterclasses: Consider gifting her a ticket to a mixology masterclass or workshop. This will give her the opportunity to learn directly from experts in the field, gain new skills, and discover new techniques and recipes. There are often mixology classes available in many cities, and some companies even offer online classes that she can join from the comfort of her own home.

5. Customized Cocktail Set: Personalize a cocktail set just for her by engraving her initials or a special message on the tools. This thoughtful touch will make the gift even more meaningful and memorable for her.

6. Subscription to a Cocktail Box: There are several subscription services that curate cocktail boxes with all the necessary ingredients and recipes for her to try out new cocktails each month. This will not only introduce her to a variety of flavors and recipes but also provide her with the convenience of having everything she needs delivered straight to her door.

7. Cocktail Garnish Kit: A cocktail garnish kit can be a fun and practical gift, as it includes various fruits, spices, and herbs for garnishing cocktails. This will enable her to add a creative and visually appealing touch to her drinks.

8. Bar Cart Accessories: Consider gifting her some bar cart accessories like stylish glassware, coasters, cocktail napkins, or a cocktail recipe book stand. These small details will enhance her cocktail-making experience and make her feel like a professional mixologist.

Remember to wrap the gift with some cocktail-themed wrapping paper or a ribbon to add an extra touch of celebration and excitement. Ultimately, these gift ideas aim to support and inspire your granddaughter's passion for mixology, allowing her to continue exploring and creating extraordinary cocktails.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Burcin Dalkanat says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
