Mother's Day is just around the corner and it's time to raise a glass to all the fabulous moms out there! But hold on, we're not talking about the hard stuff here. In this blog, we are going to look beyond the bottle and focus on the best drink accessories that any mother who loves a tipple would be thrilled to receive. From quirky cocktail shakers to elegant wine glasses, we've got unique Mother’s Day gift ideas to help your mom sip in style.

Cocktail Recipe Book

For moms who love to experiment with new drinks and would like some reading material to go with it, The New York Times Essential Book of Cocktails ($27.90) is a great gift. Spanning over 600 pages, this hardcover has sections for the classics like Martini, Negroni, Manhattan, etc. as well as 140 new recipes along with short articles from authors like NYT wine critic, Eric Assimov, creator of the ‘Cosmopolitan’, Toby Cecchini, cocktail writer and restaurant critic, William Grimes, and others.

Cocktail Soap Bar

If mom enjoys her cocktails, why not shake things up and give her a soap bar that’s inspired by her go-to drink? This unique Mother’s Day gift is the perfect way to help her savor some downtime while she spruces herself up in her pre-happy hour shower. Whether it is LIIT, Bloody Mary, or Negroni, The Soap Distillery makes artisanal $8 soap bars with cocktail-inspired fragrances using sustainable manufacturing practices. Curate a set of soaps in her favorite flavors or add one of these to a custom gift hamper. 

Wine Glasses 

If your mom loves to sip her wine in style, ditch the regular wine glasses and choose this stemless copper goblet by Joseph Grace Brands ($15.99). It keeps drinks cool and can double up as a cocktail glass when she needs it. Or, you can choose a personalized option like this customizable stemless wine glass. Have her name, initials, or a special message engraved on it to make sure she feels the love as you toast her on Mother’s Day.

Edible Flower Garden Starter Kit

Besides olives, fruit slices and herbs, people are turning to edible blooms to garnish their drink and add a playful touch to their cocktails. Those edible flowers are expensive, don’t last very long and you can never find them when you’re looking for them! The solution: having fresh flowers available whenever mom fancies trying out a new drink recipe. What a thoughtful and unique gift! You can purchase the edible garden starter kit ($29.97) from Garden Republic. Ideal for moms with a green thumb.

For the mom who loves to host cocktail parties, a cocktail shaker is a useful gift. From classic martinis to fruity margaritas, this Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker ($24.99) can make it all happen in style. The flip-top design allows for easy pouring, while the stainless steel construction ensures durability and long-lasting use. Plus, its sleek and stylish design will add a touch of sophistication to any bar cart or kitchen counter. Another classic option is the 16-ounce Houdini Stainless Steel Shaker ($16.99) complete with a built-in strainer and jigger.

Cocktail Kit

If you want to go the extra step, the Rabbit Craft Cocktail Collection ($99) is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts.  The set includes everything mom will need to make a gorgeous cocktail: mixing glass, strainer and jigger, muddler and reamer, spin spoon, and garnish tool. The sleek design, in high-quality stainless steel, will make this cocktail collection a great addition to your mom’s home bar.

Wine Decanter 

This pretty Houdini Wine Shower & Decanter ($29.99) is perfect for opening up mom’s favorite wine or, better yet, serving it when she is hosting. The stainless steel funnel and strainer are separate from the lead crystal decanter for super easy cleaning.
