The martini is a classic cocktail that many people enjoy. If you are shopping for a martini connoisseur, select a gift basket that revolves around this drink. While you might think this gift basket is fairly straightforward, there are so many different types of martinis that you can go in several different directions with this gift. - For some people, it doesn't get any better than a basic martini. For someone who loves a traditional martini, create a basic gift basket. Choose a couple of martini glasses and a cocktail shaker for this basket. Then, include a bottle of vodka or gin, depending on what type of martini he prefers. You will also need to include a bottle of vermouth. A good dry martini would not be complete without a couple olives, so throw in a jar of olives and some funky drink skewers for the olives.
- There are many different kinds of martinis other than the basic, traditional one. So create a gift basket that helps her make a unique and creative martini. For example, include cranberry juice, lime juice and triple sec so that she can make a cosmopolitan. For a chocolate martini, include chocolate liqueur and a squeeze bottle of chocolate ganache. Many people enjoy sour apple martinis, which are made with vodka and sour apple flavored liqueur. Include a recipe book for lots of different kinds of martinis, along with a bottle of vodka or gin, with this gift basket.
- The martini is often seen as a luxurious gift that is perfect for an expensive night out. So for the martini lover who also loves to indulge, create a gift basket that revolves around both of those loves. First, put a couple of crystal martini glasses in the gift basket, along with a bottle of top-shelf vodka or gin, depending on his preference. Next, include a gift card to a high-end local restaurant for more drinks and an elegant dinner. End the night with a limo ride to his favorite local martini bar.
