All-In-One gift list
This list for home bar supplies will help give you a bunch of ideas, and you can find everything on it on Amazon. It ranges from mixers to glassware, so check it out and choose a few things to bundle as a nice gift for a mixology fan.
Drink mixes.
DownWrightBoozy sells drink and cocktail mixes
that are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. These unusual flavor combinations will please anyone who likes to keep a well-stocked home bar.
Whiskey smoker.
Not really a mixologist item, but it’s fun for a home bar because it looks very fancy and impressive.
It’s a whiskey smoker that’s made from white oak which is the exact barrel that the whiskey was aged in to give it that unique flavor. Even though it’s perfect for whiskey you can use it on bourbon or any cocktail to infuse it with a smokey flavor. It comes with wood shavings to light, and you can buy more shavings separately.
Round ice cube tray.
Get a try to make round ice cubes for an impressive look in drinks. They also (supposedly) don’t melt as quickly as multiple smaller cubes, so they don’t water the drinks down as much.

Custom bar mats.
Custom bar mats are fun for a home bar or a practicing mixology student. They keep the counter clean and contain spills, so if you make a mistake it won’t be hard to clean up.
A wine fridge if they’re also into that.
If your mixologist friend is also into wine, they might like their own wine fridge to add to their home bar decor. These come in multiple sizes with different features, and the one that I got was very easy to set up. You can see the review on Amazon: Wine Fridge demo (affiliate link)
Basic barware.
Choose a good, basic barware set for someone who’s just starting out, or who wants to get the basics. These can include mixing tools, shakers, whisks, and spouts for bottles.

Custom aprons.
Custom mixologist aprons are always useful, and you can add names and phrases to the templates that are available on Zazzle. If your mixologist friend works somewhere specific, they can also get aprons with the business name on them by editing the templates.

Cocktails latte mug.
For times of the day when they’re drinking coffee and not mixing drinks, they can use this cocktail-themed latte mug and remind themselves of their true love (unless that’s caffeine, in which case they’re still covered.)
Vintage barware.
For someone who appreciates unique glassware, go shopping with vintage. It’s not going to be something that other people have, and it’s a more sustainable way to stock your home bar.
Dishtowels.
Dishtowels are always useful, and you can get customized or decorative ones on Zazzle, or basic ones on Amazon. A very simple gift that will be appreciated and used by anyone who receives them.
