This Is the ‘Best Christmas Present’ for Cocktail Enthusiasts, According to Shoppers

During the holiday season, we all want to give our loved ones thoughtful and practical gifts that they’re actually going to use. For the person who has everything, it can be difficult to come up with an idea that feels fresh and new, but we’ve got you covered, especially regarding what to get for food and cocktail connoisseurs this year. 

We found what shoppers deemed “the best Christmas present,” and it’s the best-selling Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Club subscription box from Cratejoy. And, for today only, you can get the first box completely free on six and 12-month subscriptions with code FIRSTBOXFREE at checkout. 

Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Club Subscription Box

The cocktail kit features three new recipes curated by top bartenders along with the necessary ingredients to concoct 12 drinks (four per recipe) sans liquor. To gift the subscription, simply click on the ‘give as a gift’ option and then pick your preferred subscription length, including one, three, six, or 12 months. If you’ve already checked off your entire holiday shopping list, snag the kit for yourself to brush up your bartending skills or bring it as a housewarming present for others.

Each month, the box is themed around one specific liqueur, and boxes can be easily skipped if they don’t suit their palate. The brand also offers sneak peeks of upcoming options and details of previous kits from previous months with clever names like the ‘Ginuary’ box, ‘Steeped in Vodka’ box, and ‘Rum’s the word’ box, so they know what to expect.

Numerous shoppers praise the kit for catering to both beginners and more knowledgeable mixologists. One reviewer who’s “not much of a cocktail drinker” said it helped them “step out of [their] comfort zone” and learn more about mixed drinks. A second person who received the subscription as a Christmas gift said every box was “excellent and highlighted different ways to bring out the unique qualities” of each type of liquor thanks to the various ingredients included.

If whipping up delicious meals is more their speed, Cratejoy also has several other best-selling subscription boxes like the Ultimate BBQ Experience, the Monthly Baking Kit, and a Global Kitchen Inspiration Kit, all of which are just as gift-worthy. And don’t forget to use code FIRSTBOXFREE on six- and 12-month subscriptions at checkout.
