79 Gifts for the Amateur Bartender

From Travel Cocktail Kits to Edible Insect Bitters

— November 20, 2015 — Lifestyle
Whether the giftee in question prefers shaken or stirred, there are plenty of gifts for the amateur bartender to choose from this holiday season. From insect-infused bitters that will call into question what is inedible to pocket-sized cocktail kits that make sure one is always prepared, there are countless items to choose from.

Since a bar can never have too many tools, spirits and garnishes, it's always fun to gift the amateur bartender in your life with a particularly hard to find bottle or an artisan batch of bitters. In particular, Greenbar Craft Distillery's 'Bar Keep' bitters are entirely organic and come in inventive flavors such as lavender spice.

Additionally, Siempre Tequila is an example of a beautifully bottled craft spirit that combines ancient recipes with contemporary art to create a great-tasting tequila that looks great behind the bar.
