"No two home bartenders are alike. Some live to perfect a classic gin Martini; others direct their passion toward Old-Fashioneds, Negronis or Margaritas. That's why, this year, our gift guide is a roundup of foolproof gifts based on the kinds of cocktails your recipient likes to make and drink. We revisited the trendiest gear and glassware featured on our site this year and asked some of our favorite bartenders what they'd be most glad to receive."
"Whether or not you agree with the sentiment, we can all agree that this updated glassware , used for the Martinis at Dynamo Room in New York, or this sleek version , used at Puesto in San Diego, would make an excellent gift for your trendiest friend's home bar. If you're more into the classic V-shape , consider this slimmer take on the stemware . "They are so balanced and elegant and beautiful," says Josh Conley, owner of Bar Limina Vesper riff."
Home bartenders have diverse cocktail preferences, so gifts should align with the cocktails recipients enjoy. Martini-focused items include updated and sleek glassware used at notable bars, classic V-shaped stemware, a midcentury Arne Jacobsen Martini mixer that accommodates multiple servings, and small cordial coupes or diminutive glasses for tiny martinis or digestifs. Prices and retailers accompany several recommendations. The selection also highlights specialty agave products for margarita enthusiasts. Recommendations emphasize both aesthetic and practical qualities—balance, elegance, and crowd-friendly functionality—suitable for trend-conscious hosts and those who favor intimate after-dinner drinks.
