Staff Picks: Cocktail Enamel Pins
Five enamel cocktail pins, one for each drink I have made more times than I can count: Espresso Martini, Dirty Martini, Bloody Mary, Whiskey on the Rocks and The Last Word. They make an easy gift for anyone with a usual order. Below them are four Lil Pours sweatshirts, a Founders Edition long sleeve and the two glasses I reach for most, picked for the drink they are built to hold.
Enamel Cocktail Pins
Five classic cocktails, one pin each.
Enamel Cocktail Pin: Espresso Martini
For the person who orders one at 10pm and calls it a nightcap. A modern classic that shows up on almost every party menu now, so it earned a pin.

Enamel Cocktail Pin: Bloody Mary
Brunch drinkers know exactly who they are. This one goes on a denim jacket or an apron and starts a conversation about everyone's go-to garnish.

Enamel Cocktail Pin: Dirty Martini
Extra olives, extra brine, no apologies. A good pick for the friend who has strong opinions about how their martini is made.

Enamel Cocktail Pin: Whiskey on the Rocks
Simple and to the point, like the drink. Around here a whiskey pin makes sense on almost anyone, and it's an easy add-on to a bourbon gift.

Enamel Cocktail Pin: The Last Word
A bartender's drink: equal parts, perfectly balanced, and a little nerdy. If someone in your life knows what green Chartreuse is, this is their pin.

The two glass shapes I reach for most, and one for the tree.
Highball Glass, 12oz
This is the glass I reach for when a drink needs room for ice and a full pour of mixer without turning into a juice glass. Twelve ounces holds a real Collins or G&T without a refill, and the straight sides make it easy to build the same drink the same way every time, behind a bar or at home. Dishwasher-safe, so it holds up to a real service.

Jar of Cherries Ornament
A hand-painted glass jar of cocktail cherries, designed by Love and Victory, a Brooklyn shop we love. Preorder, ships the week of Nov 30.

Nick & Nora Glass, 5.75oz
This shape has earned its comeback. A Nick and Nora holds a smaller pour than a standard cocktail glass, so a spirit-forward drink stays cold through the last sip instead of warming up in a glass that's too big for it. It's the glass I recommend most to people just starting a home bar, because it makes almost everything look and taste better.
