the pieces + parts of cocktail in a jar!

who loves to make handmade holiday gifts?? meeeeee! i wrote about this in a local lifestyle mag, where i share three great ideas on mason jar gifts…all without baking ingredients. nothing against the mason jars filled with sweet goodness, but there’s more than one way to do a great mason jar gift this holiday season!

one of my faves in the article is “cocktail in a jar.” i share a yummy combo of bailey’s and a starbucks doubleshot espresso in the magazine, but there are so many more ways to give a fun little cocktail to friends this holiday season. check out more of the options below!

rum + coke: a total classic for a total classic gift. pull together a mason jar, an 8 0z. can of coke, and a mini bottle of your preferred rum. and, don’t forget the cute holiday gift tag (you can purchase one or make your own with some cardstock), a paper straw, and bakers twine to tie your gift all up this holiday season.

bailey’s + starbucks = yummm!

sprite + vodka: for the person who likes a lighter cocktail, this is the perfect option! just like the rum + coke, put together a mason jar, a cute little can of sprite, your fave vodka + holiday decorations – and, see the smile on your recipients’ faces!

these are seriously the best little gift to have on hand to take as a host/hostess gift to those holiday parties, to give to your hairdresser, or your best friend! if you try your hand at doing cocktails in ajar, make sure to share a pic of your creations over on the re-nest studio facebook page! happy, happy holidays to you!
