Don't Break the Liquor
This gift has the potential to be the highlight of the night. Especially if the recipient has already had a few drinks before you get to opening the gifts. First, you need to get a nice bottle of alcohol, one they’ll really want to try. Then, you place this crazy contraption on the bottle. A lock puzzle made of wood and metal that prevents the recipient from opening their bottle without an epic battle. Results may vary, but the more they’ve had to drink before they try to figure it out, the better. The objective is, of course, to not break the bottle in the process of getting it open. This game makes a great icebreaker for a housewarming party, a fun twist on a traditional birthday, or a devious gift for a co-worker’s Christmas. No matter what, if you’re making them work that hard, you better get them a darn good bottle of liquor! Here are a couple suggestions.
Craft Vodka
Long gone are the days of mass produced, large batch, generic Vodkas. Small batch, handcrafted vodka is becoming the new normal in the industry. I’ve got to admit, I’m a fan. If you’re tired of Tito’s, then we suggest trying a bottle of Reyka. It’s imported from Iceland, made in small batches using cool Arctic spring waters, and filtered through lava rocks. It’s crisp, clean, and will probably need to be served on the rocks once the recipient figures out how to open it.
Gin
This is exactly the kind of puzzle a Gin lover would enjoy. If you really want to entice them into playing your game, get them a bottle of Sipsmith London Dry Gin. It’s complex, aromatic, and smooth enough for a Martini while being rich and balanced enough for a traditional Gin and Tonic. Hopefully, they’ve had a few drinks before they attempt to free their bottle. Get ready YouTube.
Tequila With a Twist
We found the perfect gift for the tequila lover in your life. Put a new spin on the old classic of salt, tequila, lime with these Himalayan Salt Shot Glasses. They’re made entirely of 100% pure Himalayan Salt, and were even featured in “O” Magazine. Eliminate that salt shaker, and go straight to the source. Pour your tequila directly into a shot glass made of salt. Just pour and enjoy with a slice of lime. Shot glasses this fine deserve some truly tasty Tequila. Here are some suggestions that are sure to satisfy.
Don Julio is a well-established name in the Tequila game. Their 1942 line is a Tequila lover’s dream. With a creamy caramel and chocolate base, warm oak, vanilla and roasted agave, this exquisite Anejo Tequila is the perfect gift for weddings, promotions, and closing business deals like a boss. Best served neat, at room temperature, and with a well-deserved sense of superiority.
The tequila looks as exquisite as it sounds. It’s a sleek silver tequila that’s been triple-distilled, and oak-rested to ensure the smoothest, full-bodied flavor. It’s fresh agave, citrus, and fruit flavors will be beautifully complemented by the Salt Shot Glasses from the Himalayan Mountains. Sounds like a match made in heaven. The corked crystal decanter the tequila comes in is hand numbered, making it as collectible as it is delicious.
Get Them Whiskey Stoned
To really appreciate the complexities of a good whiskey, any alcohol lover will tell you, you’ve got to try it neat or on the rocks. Well, now you can take the latter literally. If you’ve got a whiskey lover in your life, get them some Whiskey Stones. Not only do they look cool, they’re also way better than ice cubes. Ice cubes will melt and water down the flavor of your favorite Whiskey. So to preserve the flavors, many whiskey lovers will opt to order their drink neat. Give them the option to enjoy their favorite Whiskey with an icy edge, at no expense to flavor with some Whiskey Stones. No more watery Whiskey.
Here are a couple of Whiskeys any alcohol lover will enjoy and that make the perfect addition to a gift of Whiskey Stones.
Let’s start with the bottle. It’s undeniably cool. It’s both classic and modern, with a sleek bottle design adorned with a signature Stag’s head. Moving on inside the bottle. This single malt Scotch Whiskey is aged for 12 years in oak barrels and then transferred into unique sherry wood casks for three more years of aging. All that aging and barrel changing pays off in a mother-load of sweetened Scotch, begging to be enjoyed.
