That's what makes barware a great gift for Christmas, housewarming parties, weddings, Father's Day, or any other occasion. This list of bar gifts goes beyond the alcohol (though that will need to be well-stocked too!) and provides ideas for glassware, tools, mixers, equipment, and so much more. You could even gift these items alongside your favorite bottle of booze to give your recipient a little nudge to try out their new gift that day. 01 of 36 Cocktail Syrups w&p Design Buy Now Made from a blend of sugar, spices, and fresh citrus, each syrup in this set is ready to make premium cocktails at a moment's notice.

This set allows you to make the perfect old-fashioned, Moscow mule, and spicy margarita cocktails or mocktails. 02 of 36 Wheyward Spirit Wheyward Buy Now Keeping a bar stocked with all the different types of alcohol can be difficult, and pretty pricey.

The spirit is made from whey, which is a liquid co-product of cheese and other dairy products that is typically discarded after production. This sustainable brand repurposes the whey to make a spirit that can be added to cocktails or sipped on its own, with tasting notes of oak, vanilla cream, and warm spice. 03 of 36 Bar Tool Set Mikasa Buy Now For a dressed-up home bar, you've got to have the right tools on-hand for any cocktail.
