Unique Gift Ideas: Mixologist’s Favorites

© Noah Kalina.

As managing partner of New York’sPDT and deputy editor of F&W Cocktails 2010, Jim Meehan test-drives every new mixology ingredient and tool. Here, his new favorites.

AVERELL DAMSON GIN ($33)

“Damson plum gin is an English classic, but it’s often very sweet. Averell keeps the gin flavor instead of burying it in sugary fruit.”drinkupny.com.

JAPANESE-STYLE JIGGER ($11)

“These measuring tools are functional and beautiful, like Japanese jiggers, but they have US increments.” cocktailkingdom.com.

BITTERMENS XOCOLATL MOLE BITTERS ($18)

“I love this brand of chocolate bitters for tequila cocktails, but it also works well with rum and whiskey drinks.” cocktailkingdom.com.
