Whether you’re looking to add to your knowledge of classic cocktails or are simply too lazy to mix them up yourself, this line of Experimental Series Antique Cocktails (£40-£50; roughly $65-$80) should be on your booze shopping list. Each bottle of pre-mixed Negroni, Manhattan, Rob Roy, and Martinez is made using rare spirits bottled in the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, giving them a slightly more complex and mellow flavor than anything you’ll get at the local bar, and thanks to the Handmade cocktail Company’s experience, you can ensure they’ll be mixed properly. Cheers. Source:Experimental Series Antique Cocktails

We’ve seen plenty of trends, styles, and drinks reemerge years after they were first popular, but none quite as old as mead. A modern take on the ancient drink,HoneyMaker Mead ($TBA) is still made from honey, clear, pure water and a proprietary yeast strain, but is available in a variety of flavors, including Lavender, Blueberry, Semi Sweet, Dry Hopped, and the ever popular Elderberry. Gold chalice not included. Thanks Uncrate.com

If the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup, consider spoiling yourself with a Wrecking Ball Coffee Subscription ($115). This high-end, six-month subscription provides you with a new 12 oz. bag of freshly-roasted beans each month, letting you savor whatever flavor the merry band of coffee-roasting geeks at Wrecking Ball are most enjoying at the moment.

Unsatisfied with the quality of Coffee created by your average drip machine, Bodum went about re-inventing it as only they can. The result is the Bodum Bistro Pour Over Coffee Machine ($250), which aims to replicate the tedious yet tasty pour over process. It uses a spiral heating element to get the water as close to boiling as possible before transporting it over to the fine-mesh, titanium-plated coffee filter. It then passes though a shower head to ensure even distribution, while the filter lets through all the flavor and none of the grit. Finally, the double-walled thermos ensures the stuff stays warm, yet still opens with a simple press of a button. [via]{via Uncrate}

Unless you sip on single malts exclusively, odds are you’ve run into a blended whiskey somewhere along the way. whisky Blender (£35 and up; roughly $55+) lets you create your own specialized blend from a selection of seven different whiskys, each available for adding in amounts as small as 10ml. Once you’re done, you can give the blend its own name, which will be handwritten on the label that adorns the 70cl corked decanter bottle, and save the mixture for future refills should the mixture be to your liking. While the wisdom of order booze you’ve never tasted before is always questionable, there’s no doubt that it’ll be far more interesting than your average bottle of Old Crow.

Ever notice how fun or sophisticated it feels to swirl your glass when sipping on a smooth concoction? Apparently so did the makers of the Roller Rock Glass ($22). Arriving with its own ice ball mold, this clever glass features a spike in the middle to guide the ice ball around the edge of the glass, slowly cooling your drink without watering it down.

Though often necessary, dropping an ice cube or two into your chardonnay is totally unacceptable. the Corkcicle will do the trick of keeping your wine at the perfect temp and prevent you from looking like an unrefined yahoo, even if you are one.
