Cocktail Starter Set

Any bride or groom will likely receive a variety of glasses and maybe even a shaker or two. But a bartender kit is a great way to ‘wow’ any cocktail connoisseur.
Each collection will include the following items:

• Jigger – a two-sided shot measure usually made of metal with 30-45 ml measurements.
• Muddler – also known as a pestle, used to crush herbs, fruits, and rinds for added flavour to any drink.
• Stirring Glass and Spoon – used to easily incorporate all ingredients in a drink’s recipe before serving.
• Strainer – a small hand-held sieve with a coiled rim to hold back ice and allow the contents of a chilled drink to easily be poured into its glass.

These sets make lovely and affordable wedding gifts for any beginner mixologist.

Spirits of Choice

Every home bar needs the four most important spirits in the cupboard: Vodka, Whisky, Gin, and Rum.

For an extra special touch, a whisky wedding gift may be the best choice. It’s a classic celebration spirit and can be found in countless cocktail recipes.

Wine Glass Rack

It is almost a guarantee that couples will receive their first set of wine glasses after the wedding. If they’ve lived together for some time, it’s likely they will be kept on a shelf or in a cupboard, which isn’t ideal for safely storing or drying them.

That’s why wine glass racks are a uniquely practical gift to include in your registry or list of gift ideas. These racks not only add a chic touch to any kitchen or bar area, they securely hold each glass by its base, allowing the glasses to dry properly and  leaving them with clean and streak-free shine.
