14 Craft Cocktail Mixers For the Host Who Has It All

You’re attending a party and the host has said not to bring anything. You know they always have the perfect drinks to pour throughout each course of the night, so you don’t want to bring them a bottle of wine (unless you have something special that you know they’ll love as a gift). You could bring tea towels, or flowers, or a serving dish (all wonderful choices, I might add!), but if you know your host loves libations, and perhaps even has a bar cart, consider bringing a fun treat that you know they might not buy on their own: cocktail mixers.

Now I’m not talking about the kind you see rows and rows of in a liquor store or big box grocery store. I’m talking about fun, craft mixers that even the snobbiest of drink lovers will enjoy playing with at their next party. If you’re not sure where to begin, we’ve found some great ideas below. And if you’re feeling generous, pair your mix with the liquor that is meant to accompany the product, or even a fun cocktail shaker!
