Holiday Gift Guide: Foodie Finds
Foodie Gift Guide: Drinks
Crafted Cocktails ($29.99 for a two-pack): These low-calorie, cocktail mixers handcrafted in California feature fully natural, unprocessed ingredients and agave for sweetness. There are two flavors available — Moonlight (agave, watermelon and jalapeno) and Lanai (pineapple, lime, agave and jalapeno) — and, aside from being delicious in general, they both pair beautifully with all types of liquor. In fact, vodka brings out different flavors than tequila, and whiskey enhances different flavors than gin does.
TeaDrops ($12 for a variety pack of eight): Got a tea lover but feeling intimidated when it comes to picking the right blend for them? Or maybe you have someone who’s just getting into tea and you’d like to treat them. Either way, TeaDrops are a great option — each drop is a mix of finely sourced tea, spices and just the right amount of sugar, so all it needs is a hot mug of water and a spoon to stir it all up. It’s so, so good, and easy as can be!
Bon Marche ($15): I don’t know about you, but I love giving a bottle of wine as a gift … but I do not love spending a bunch on a bottle that might not even be all that great. Happily, Bon Marche (French for good market) is affordable, available in a rich, flavorful red blend or a delightfully light Sauvignon Blanc, and promises to be a tasty treat any oenophile will appreciate.
