Don’t Know What to Give? 21 Alcohol Gifts That Prove You Can’t Lose With Booze
Think about it: Have you ever been disappointed to receive an alcohol gift? Neither have we. Sure, you’ll want to keep in mind that recipients should be 21 and older, but no tippler would turn down a surprise in the form of tequila, bourbon, or cognac. Anyone who drinks will enjoy a special spirit—be it your mentor, sister-in-law, or that old officemate you haven’t seen IRL since before the pandemic.
Do they love martinis? Gift them a bottle of gin and throw in a jar of blue-cheese stuffed olives. Have they been dreaming of a Mexican vacation? Wrap a bottle of mezcal with a satin bow. A fancy bottle of rum can even be handed to your mail carrier, who no doubt deserves some extra love for all the packages you’ve been getting delivered.
Alcohol also makes an excellent gift for the person you know nothing about. Meeting your boyfriend’s grandparents for the first time? Don’t show up empty-handed—bring a bottle of Aperol and teach Grandma how to spritz. It’s an unwritten rule: When you don’t know what to give, you can’t go wrong with a bottle of booze. Here are 21 alcohol gifts we recommend bringing to all your holiday parties.
