Wedding Presents and Cocktail Recipes for Cocktail Lovers

Covid and its lockdowns turned us into bonafide cocktail fans. Every weekend we would create a different Quarantini and share the recipe and the must-have cocktail-related wedding presents on Instagram. They were such a success, we have curated a selection of our favourite recipes and cocktail-related wedding presents, perfect for all cocktail lovers to recreate at home with the ultimate home-bar.

For budding mixologists with all the ideas but none of the gear, we suggest starting with a great cocktail shaker, a cocktail jigger and a muddler or a full cocktail set. These are all wedding presents that your guests will love to buy off your gift list and you will get hours of fun out of them in the years to come.

When creating your wedding gift list, think about adding different types of glassware for different occasions and different cocktails. For example, you may want to add some highball glasses perfect for a classic G&T, a Moscow Mule or other long drinks. You may want to add some coupes and champagne saucers for cocktails with fizz in. Tumblers are a great option for cocktails such as sours or negronis. You may also want to add some classic martini glasses for one of our favourite cocktails - the Espresso Martini.

We don't tend to follow interiors trends, instead we love recommending timeless products that will last our couples a lifetime. That said, the revival of the cocktail trolley is a trend that we have a LOT of time for. We have so many options that you could add to your gift list, from the classic brass style, to rattan and leather butlers trays. Add some practical elements such as a bottle opener for tonics and an ice bucket to save you going back to the kitchen.
