Elevated Craft Double Walled Hybrid Cocktail Shaker
This cleverly designed cocktail shaker from Elevated Craft includes upgraded features that solve common problems for a home bartender—while keeping you from making a mess. Founder Adam Craft spent two years developing a tool that prevents leakage, sticking and freezing your hands. With double-walled stainless steel and vacuum insulation, this shaker will make the drink ice cold while protecting your hands and keeping condensation at a minimum. Its high-capacity measuring top, with both ounces and milliliters, brings an element of precision to craft cocktails, and the screw-on lid is secured with gaskets to prevent leaks while shaking. A strainer built into the pour spout keeps seeds, ice and other large items out of the glass. And the generous size holds up to 750 milliliters (that’s an entire standard bottle of liquor) even as the slim design makes it easy to grip and shake.
Le Creuset Waiter’s Friend Wine Opener
Compact enough for a server to store easily in a pocket for opening diners’ wine bottles, this classic foldout corkscrew from Le Creuset is a universal favorite among servers, wine experts and bartenders. Made from sleek stainless steel and wood, the Waiter’s Friend combines a grooved corkscrew, which glides smoothly through cork, with a patented lever that reaches two positions for maximum leverage. Together, the pair makes removing a cork significantly easier, with minimal cork breakage. And although the wine opener is finished with a sharp, built-in foil cutter, every piece folds down compactly for safe, easy storage.
Blossoms Syrup Grenadine
The first ingredient in this Grenadine syrup by Blossoms Syrup is real fruit juice concentrate, unlike many other versions we’ve tried that end up tasting artificial. Popularized by the classic American drink, the Shirley Temple, grenadine is traditionally made from pomegranate, but most modern grenadines are actually nothing but sugar water, flavorings and dyes. Blossoms’ rendition is a deeply hued, sweet and tart syrup, purposely NOT made with pomegranate, because it normally gets lost and muddled by all of the other fruit flavors that make up grenadine. Instead, this syrup focuses on a mixture of blackberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and elderberry to get its tangy, balanced grenadine flavor. It hits all the marks, and doesn’t contain any colorings or flavorings. Use it in cocktails or mix with soda water for a refreshing drink, or drizzle on desserts.
L'atelier du Vin Oeno Motion Wood & Chrome Wine Key
Sleekly modern and classic at the same time, this wine key from L’Atelier du Vin was designed in France with materials that will last. The vertical lever corkscrew is larger than other models we’ve tried and sturdily built, but what it lacks in compactness, it makes up for in style—made from graceful lines of chrome and solid walnut, the key will blend in with classic and modern bar tools. The device opens bottles and expels the cork in a single sweeping motion of the ergonomic lever (a fan-favorite feature for anyone with limited wrist mobility). A foil cutter comes built in, and the jaw is designed to fit bottlenecks in a range of sizes. The key comes with a spare steel spiral worm and a ready-to-gift box.

Blossoms Syrup Rhubarb Syrup
The first ingredient in this Rhubarb Syrup by Blossoms Syrups is real rhubarb juice concentrate, so the syrup actually tastes like rhubarb, not a laboratory formulation of what rhubarb should taste like. With a balanced ratio of tart to sweet, this syrup’s flavor is evocative of strawberry rhubarb pie. Light in taste and color with just enough acidity, it hits all the marks and doesn’t contain any colorings or flavorings. Use it in smoothies, fruit desserts, drizzled over crêpes or added to a gin and tonic.

Blossoms Syrup Passion Fruit
The first ingredient in this Passionfruit Syrup by Blossoms Syrup is real passion fruit juice concentrate, so the syrup actually tastes like passion fruit, not a laboratory formulation of what passion fruit should taste like. One of our favorites from the company, we see why this was the winner of a Great Taste award in 2012 and 2019. It’s sweet—but not cloyingly so—and levels out with a balanced tartness. It hits all the marks, and doesn’t contain any colorings or flavorings. Use it in cocktails or drizzle on desserts. The founders at Blossoms even like swirling it in yogurt.

Blossoms Syrup Pomegranate
The first ingredient in this Pomegranate Syrup by Blossoms Syrup is real pomegranate fruit juice concentrate, so the syrup actually tastes like pomegranate, not a laboratory formulation of what pomegranate should taste like. For the traditionalist who prefers pomegranate in their grenadine, this pure pomegranate syrup is a great option, as the fruit flavor doesn’t get lost or muddled. Winner of a Great Taste winner in 2018, it’s tart and tangy with just enough sweetness to keep it from tasting sour. It hits all the marks, and doesn’t contain any colorings or flavorings. Use it in cocktails or drizzle on desserts. We love it swirled into yogurt and granola.
