Holiday Cheers: My Top 5 Picks for Winter Cocktail or Mocktail Inspired Gifts
Because the best gifts bring people together to celebrate the season
There’s something about a cozy cocktail (or mocktail) that makes the holiday season feel extra festive. Whether you're gifting to clients or employees, beverage-inspired gifts are a fun way to add warmth and cheer to your holiday gifting.
Here are five of my favorite winter-ready cocktail gift themes — perfect for making spirits bright:
Merry Espresso Martini - For anyone who loves a little holiday buzz with a sophisticated twist, the espresso martini trend is still going strong. If you appreciate gifts that support local businesses, including a bag of locally roasted coffee beans makes this gift feel even more special and meaningful.
Cozy Hot Toddy Kit - The sweet taste of honey, with bright lemon and warming spices, makes every sip feel like a cozy hug on a cold winter night. This gift is wonderful on its own or elevate it by pairing with a plush blanket.
Winter Ginger Mule - Bold, refreshing, and just the right amount of festive spice — the ginger mule adds a little zest to the holiday season and brings cheer to any winter gathering. Round out the gift with a beautiful copper mug or a few savory snacks for the perfect happy hour pairing.
Spiked (or not) Hot Chocolate - It’s a gift so good, they might not want to share it with their kids! Whether they’re watching holiday movies, strolling down Christmas Tree Lane, or just taking a quiet moment to themselves, this gift adds a sweet luxury to their winter traditions — spiked or not. Add marshmallows and peppermint sticks or a s’mores kit to complete the gift.
Festive Cranberry Fizz - Bubbly, bright and refreshing! Cranberry mixer pairs easily with prosecco or make it a crowd-pleasing mocktail with ginger ale or club soda. Include cocktail napkins, garnishes and snack mix for everything needed to effortlessly entertain during the holidays.
Cocktail-inspired gifts are a fun and memorable way to elevate your holiday gifting this year. Whether you're going full spirits or keeping it alcohol-free, there's a mix for every kind of recipient.
