This stylish looking mini-bar called the Gin Wheel was designed by Bombay Sapphire East Gin and a design company called AvroKO. This fantastic circular drink mixing station is essentially a well organized portable mini-bar created especially for gin drinkers.

This sleek wooden mini-bar has a built-in stainless steel bucket right in the center where consumers can chill their gin. The Gin Wheel also opens up to reveal enough space to store things like tumbler glasses, lemons and limes and even coasters. The top of this mini-bar also rotates, like a lazy Susan, so guests can easily spin garnishes and coasters their way.

This delightful portable bar is fantastic but it's a limited-edition item, so it's also in short supply.
