Mason jar cocktails gifts combine your love of DIY crafts with the love of the adult beverages of the holiday season. Who doesn’t love the idea of relaxing with a nice cocktail at the end of the day? Even better if it’s from the comfort of your home in the form of a gift from someone special.
If you’re looking for a great gift idea, we’ve collected some of the best Mason jar cocktail gift ideas we could find. Here are our favorites, plus a few ideas for getting creative and coming up with your own Mason jar cocktail ideas.
Mason Jar Cocktail Kits
There are a lot of great things you can pack into a mason jar, but when it comes to holidays and the chill of the wind outside, there are few things that compare to hot apple cider that’s spiked with both cinnamon whiskey and honey whiskey.
This gift uses individual packets of powdered apple cider mix tucked into mason jars with cute little bottles of whiskey. A cinnamon stick and candy cane garnish attached with festive twine are the perfect way to say cheers to the holidays.

This is a super simple Mason jar cocktail gift that hardly takes any effort but is sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face every time.
Mason Jar Holiday Cabernet Sangria
With all the vibrant fruits, sangria is a wonderful drink for the holiday season. This Mason jar cocktail gift packs all the fruit and accompaniments into a Mason jar, and then the wine is gifted on the side. This recipe has two versions, one for a pitcher-sized gift and one for smaller Mason jars. This recipe doesn’t mention it, but you could easily gift this with a single serving-size bottle of wine or brandy.
One thing to note about the sangria jars is that the fruit is perishable, so save this one to prepare at the last minute right before gifting.

This DIY Mason jar cocktail is filled with ultra-creamy homemade hot cocoa mix with a little bottle of Irish cream that you tie on with a festive string or twine.
