Make & Muddle Classic Cocktail Revival Gift Kit ($59.98, Etsy)
I love this gift for the cocktail (or mocktail) enthusiast with elevated taste!
The gift set includes a gift bag, a copy of the book Classic Cocktail Revival by Jennifer Brian, and your choice of one of seven 16 oz. cocktail mixers from Make & Muddle, which is Jennifer’s company. The mixers are crafted in small batches in Kentucky. I had a chance to try the Honey Lavender Elixir, and it’s heavenly. So far, I’ve paired it with vodka and seltzer, as well as just seltzer for a refreshing mocktail.
