16 DIY Cocktail Kits

Rather than making a trip to the local bar or settling for a pre-mixed ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage off the shelf of a liquor store, many crafty consumers are finding a sweet spot between customization and convenience in DIY cocktail kits.

With sets specific to molecular mixology, tea-based cocktails and making bitters from scratch, consumers are sating their need for adventure, experience, quality and flavor at a fair price.

The comforting flavors of a favorite drink are easily transported with portable drink-mixing sets like Bittered Sling's Travel Pack and the Travel Cocktail Kit from Stephen Kenn. The Carry On Cocktail Kit is another great example that makes it possible to enhance drinks served inflight by being prepared with travel-sized tools for drink customization.
