Gift giving is always wonderful, but when that gift is for an occasion, it becomes even more special. This fact is even more true when the gift is for a special moment or celebration in life. That’s why liquor gift baskets are becoming popular.
With their wide selection of options, there is a liquor gift basket for any occasion. But what are the best things to put in the gift baskets?
This article will look at a few items that can be added to the basket to ensure your friends and family enjoy it.
Dress Up a Bottle of Wine
When dressing up a bottle of wine to add to a liquor gift basket, adding some extra decorations can really help to show how much you care about the recipient.
Consider adding a corkscrew set and wine stoppers, a festive bottle cover, and personalized glasses. Make sure to include gourmet food items such as cheese and crackers, candied nuts, and chocolate. Topping it off with a bottle of specialty dessert wine.
Must-Have Beer Mug Gift Basket
A beer mug is essential to all alcohol lovers. These glasses have been around since the days of the Bavarian Royalty and are still a classic piece of drinkware today.
Beer mugs are made from a variety of materials like ceramic, glass, and acrylic. They come in a range of sizes, shapes, and styles. The shape of the mug helps retain foam and carbonation while the handle makes it easy to drink from.
Beer mugs provide a great presentation that gets attention when brought to a gathering and also gives a utilitarian purpose – to hold your favorite beverage.
Crystal Decanter Whiskey Set
A liquor gift basket with a crystal decanter set as the main component is sure to please the recipient. To make it complete, consider adding two whiskey glasses, whiskey stones, ice tongs, a corkscrew, and a flask.
Mixers such as ginger ale, tonic and soda water are also necessary not to forget the impressive selection of whiskeys and liqueurs. Also gift a few artisanal chocolates, which pair perfectly with whiskey.
To finish it off, a box of decorative coasters for the whiskey glasses, a custom Madeleine stamp, a couple of whiskey barrel-aged beers, and a themed book on whiskey or the art of blending, will make the perfect gifts for any whiskey appreciator.
Bitters Bottle Set
The set may include a collection of various herbs and spices that can be used to flavor mixed drinks. This can be a great way to elevate mixed drinks to an even more unique and flavorful level.
To include a bitters bottle set in a liquor gift basket, consider adding some appropriate items to the collection. An attractive, sturdy carrier for the bottle set, accompanied by some lovely glasses and a shaker can create a classy presentation and be a perfect addition to any gift basket.
Gin Gift Basket
Add premium gin that features a delicious botanical flavor, such as Hendricks or Bombay. Include a selection of gourmet snacks, like gourmet crackers, nuts, olives, or deli meats.
Some quality tonics will give a perfect and flavorful accompaniment to the gin. Add a shaker and a set of glasses and stirrers to complete the basket.
A favorite cocktail recipe book, cocktail napkins, and a bottle opener also make great additions to the basket. Add ribbons, bows, and a personal note to make the gift truly unique.
Cigar and Whiskey Set
A liquor gift basket is a great way to show someone appreciation or love. If you’re buying a basket for a special occasion, then a cigar and whiskey set would be the perfect addition.
These alcohol gift baskets usually include a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of a smooth liqueur, and a box of cigars with a lighter. As an added touch you could also include whiskey glasses, coasters, and a cigar cutter.
Other items you may include are a candy selection, gourmet snacks, candles, and bar accessories such as a corkscrew.
Vodka and Red Bull Gift Basket
For a vodka and Red Bull gift basket you must include the two main components to make it complete. Look for a quality vodka, preferably a more expensive and uncommon brand that the recipient may not have tried before.
For Red Bull, try to find a flavor they may not have tried, like tropical or even blueberry. You can also add a few fun additions such as highball glasses, bar tools like a shaker, or even a recipe book of cocktail ideas.
When packing the basket, adding a few snack-like pretzels or some nuts is a nice touch and can make the basket look extra special.
Craftly DIY Whiskey Kit

Vintage-Inspired Gin and Tonic Set
The set includes a vintage-style glass carafe with a lid, two glasses and a stainless-steel spoon for straining the cocktail mix, all decorated with art deco details. To make this gift basket a complete offering, you can also add other barware such as a cocktail shaker, jigger, bar spoon and citruses to go with the glasses.
