I normally share some sort of a holiday gift guide, and I still might. In the meantime, here are deals I’ve spotted this week that will appeal to all cocktail enthusiasts, whether you’re buying for yourself or as a gift. Some are live now, and others start Friday, so I’ll specify the dates where applicable. I’ll also update this post if I see anything new.
P.S. – Leave a quick comment on this post and let me know if you’re interested in a holiday gift guide or if I missed any deals.
Gear
- A Bar Above – Shout out to Julia and Chris Tunstall over at A Bar Above for offering a custom discount code for The Humble Garnish audience! Use code THEHUMBLEGARNISH for 15% off your order. Offer expires midnight PST on Monday. Also, be sure to check out their awesome podcast!
- Wintersmiths – Their Phantom Mini is one of my favorite ice molds. (I need to update my massive review.) Wintersmiths is offering 15% off all their ice molds. This includes their Phantom, Phantom Mini, and Ice Chest. Use discount code JINGLEBALLS. Offer expires on 12/2.
- IMBIBE – 15% off store wide. Offer ends at midnight on 11/29.
- Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker – This ice maker seems to go on sale every year. If you drink a lot of crushed ice drinks (juleps, cobblers, tiki), now is a good time to get it for $110 off.
- Ozeri Kitchen Scale – I use my kitchen scale multiple times a day. Whether I’m weighing ingredients for simple syrup, making tea or coffee, or baking, a kitchen scale is something every kitchen should have.
- Modernist Pantry – From whipping siphons to the ingredients for spherification, Modernist Pantry has a wide selection for the science-minded imbiber. They’re offering 15% off select items through 12/1 with discount code SHOPSMALL.
- OXO Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle – I don’t own this kettle, but I wish I did. I’m an OXO fanboy—their design aesthetic for their kitchen gadgets always leads me to impulse purchases. This kettle is $20 off, so it rings in at $80. For a gadget that I use every day, it’s a worthwhile investment.
- OXO Cold Brew Coffee Maker – I own this OXO cold brew maker and love it. It tears down into 4 pieces that stack within each other for easy storage. It’s durable and easy to clean. It’s on sale for $40 as opposed to the normal $50.
Ingredients
- Liber & Co. – I love Liber & Co.’s syrups. Their grenadine is the best I’ve found. They’re offering 20% off all orders with code BLACKFRIDAY19. Valid 11/29 through 12/2.
- Strongwater – One of the most interesting collections of syrups, bitters, and tonics that I’ve come across. I reviewed their Alpine Tonic in my Ultimate Tonic Syrup Review. They are offering 30% off all orders with code DRINKBLACKFRIDAY.
- Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. – Bitters, syrups, and cocktail cherries, all on sale until 11:59pm on 12/5. Use code BATCH20.
- Seedlip – You’ve likely heard of Seedlip. They are a leader in the zero-proof cocktail movement. They have a trio of distilled products that were created as an option for when you’re not drinking. Imbibe had a great write up on them in their latest issue. Seedlip is offering 20% off your entire order for the next 48 hours. (Roughly 6 P.M. CST on 11/27) Use discount code DRYHOLIDAY.
- Owl’s Brew Cocktail Mixers – Owl’s Brew makes tea-based cocktail mixers. I reviewed their products several years ago and found them to be pretty good. They’re offering discounts of $1-$10 on Amazon by clipping the coupon on the product page. Browse them all here.
Glassware
- Norlan Glasses – I was an early backer of their original Kickstarter, and it’s exciting to see their product line continue to expand. This is the glass I drink whiskey out of most often. It’s hard to beat the visual appeal of the hand-blown double-walled design. They are on the pricey side and a bit delicate, so if you’re the type who breaks glassware often, probably pass this one up. They are offering up to 30% off all products through 12/2. No discount code needed.
- New BLACK Glencairn Glass – This is an unexpected release! Glencairn has announced a new matte black whiskey glass. (Norlan offers one too) It’s their standard shaped glass, but in matte black. They’ll also be offering 20% everything on their online store. You can check out the new black glass here.
Miscellaneous
- The Cocktail Coin: Old Fashioned Edition – While I’m at it, I might as well launch a sale on the Old Fashioned Coin. From now through 12/2, The Cocktail Coin is buy one, get one free! Simply use code “Angostura” at checkout.
- Pop Chart – One of the best options for well-designed prints. I own several of their prints. They are offering 35% off.
- Drinkwel – Drinkwel offers a few products, the most notable is their multivitamin “created specifically for healthy people who drink alcohol”. They are offering up to 50% off select products through 12/2.
If you’re looking for some last-minute cocktail options for Thanksgiving, I highly recommend these two books to help make cocktails for a crowd. They aren’t on sale, but they are great additions to your cocktail book collection.
- Bubbly: A Collection of Champagne and Sparkling Cocktails (Read my review here.)
- Batch Cocktails: Make-Ahead Pitcher Drinks for Every Occasion
PS – If I do a 2019 gift guide, this little collector’s tin of Underberg is definitely going on the list!
