Top 5 Gifts for the Bartender
1) Cool ID Tumbler - Set of 2
Say cheers to ceramic tumblers that keep beverages perfectly chilled. Submerge the tumblers in cool water to activate their natural cooling properties. This ceramic absorbs the water quickly, leaving the surface dry, so there’s no condensation, inside or out. Your drinks stay cool for hours. The matte surface is sophisticated and also acts as a chalkboard if you want to write on it.
2) Hand Cut Monogram Pint Glass - Set of 4
The classic Monogram on these personalized pint glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
3) Spinning Wine Glass - Set of 2
Sip from a spinning wine glass set that does more than just look good. The base is designed to spin in place without toppling your drink. This creates an eye-catching effect with a purpose—the spinning action aerates wine, which helps open up flavor and aroma.
4) Granite Cool Coasters 6 Piece Set
Sea Stones: Granite Cool Coasters 6 Piece Set
5) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
