We Found the Perfect Martini Kit

By Amanda Gabriele Published December 13, 2019

We found the perfect gift for the martini lover in your life, even if it’s yourself. For holiday 2013, GREY GOOSE teamed with French fine crystal house Baccarat for one of the coolest collaborations we’ve seen all year. The “Always Stirred, Never Shaken” martini kit takes French luxury to a new level with all the tools to make a perfect cocktail.

Housed in a custom-cut metal case lined with imported French felt, the GREY GOOSE Baccarat gift box includes a strainer, jigger, four olive picks, spoon, mixing cup, voucher to claim a bottle of GREY GOOSE Original from 877-SPIRITS and two handsome Baccarat crystal martini glasses. Designed to hold the perfect martini, the glass’s wide brim produces surface tension to bring out GREY GOOSE’s bouquet, and the thick, ornate stem helps to maintain the cocktail’s temperature. We think James Bond would be super proud.

The GREY GOOSE Baccarat gift box coincides with the launch of the GREY GOOSE FLY BEYOND campaign to celebrate Francois Thibault, the creator of GREY GOOSE and his pursuit to create the world’s best tasting vodka. To this day, he oversees the crafting of GREY GOOSE and tastes every batch to ensure it lives up to its reputation of consistency and exceptional quality.

Starbucks Barista-favorite Guatemala Casi Cielo is back

Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo

No one knows great coffee better than Starbucks baristas, who have voted the Guatemala Casi Cielo whole bean coffee as one of their favorite roasts. Each week, Starbucks partners (employees) can select a bag of whole bean coffee for free, and last year, Starbucks partners used this benefit on Guatemala Casi Cielo more than any other seasonal whole-bean coffee offered by the brand. This partner and customer-favorite has been popular for nearly two decades, featuring elegant floral aromatics and notes of citrus and dark cocoa.

Stone Brewing drops a big beer for a big anniversary

Stone Brewing 29th Anniversary Double IPA.

It's official, you can now get Stone Brewing's 29th Anniversary Double IPA. The big beer celebrates nearly three decades in the craft beer sector. The west coast brewery, founded in California, has long been known for its high-octane brews.

The beer comes in at 8.5% ABV and is made with a slew of New Zealand Hops. The full-bodied beer shows dank elements, red berries, and tropical fruit. The finish is lasting and there's a hit of bitterness to the tune of 55 IBUs.

Crisp days call for crisp beers — here are the best craft lagers for fall

Fall is a a great time for craft lagers

Zero Gravity

To say that the craft beer world in the U.S. has exploded in the last few decades is a bit of an understatement. Back in 1995, there were only around two hundred craft breweries in the entire country. Today, we’re nearing 10,000 breweries in the U.S. These breweries are producing hazy IPAs, barrel-aged stouts, and a surprising number of classic, crisp lagers.

The latter just might be the perfect style to bridge the gap between summer and fall. This is because the styles range from crushable, crispy boys perfect for unseasonably hot days to dark, malty lagers well-suited for unseasonably cool autumn evenings.
