Sagamore Spirit Cask-Strength Rye
Any mixologist worth their salt will love this rye to mix with—it’s got an assertive black pepper finish that adds richness and heft to a cocktail. Make no mistake, this is not a sipping whisky—it’s cask-strength, so it really needs other flavors to temper its bite. Try this Maryland rye from Sagamore Spirit in an Old Pal or other classic rye cocktails.

This bottle is a boon for the active wine drinker. We love that this keeps wine at just the proper temperature—and yes, it will hold an entire bottle of wine! Silicone grips on the bottom help guard against spills, but the super-tight lid also guards against them. The matching tumblers each hold a generous 10 ounce pour and will keep your wine or cocktails at optimum temperature for hours.

Chill Barware Tumblers
These elegant tumblers are just right for chilled digestifs or other cocktails. The marble base is an attractive and super-functional touch: they get stored in the freezer, and cleverly keep your cocktails cold, negating the need for ice that will water them down.

These canned-for-convenience cocktails are a cut above the bevy of sparkling hard waters and cocktails that have recently made a splash. This fruity sparkler has nicely-defined notes of pear combined with a hint of cardamom, for a festive drink that even the most discerning of your cocktail-and-wine loving friends will enjoy.
