The July 2015 Hamptons Lane box is the Gatsby Cocktail Party Box!
Strike up the band and get ready to transport yourself to the Roaring 20s with a Jazz Age Party complete with Gatsby-style craft cocktails made with flair. Shake up cocktails like Daisy’s Daiquiri or a Lavender Smash in mini art deco cocktail shakers, each muddled to perfection and served with a twist. Artisan ingredients like Lemon Lavender Simple Syrup and Ginger Lemon bitters make each concoction flavorful, while your sugars and garnishes make each drink as memorable as the Great Gatsby himself. All the tools and ingredients come complete with a 20-page guide to throwing the perfect Gatsby Party, courtesy of NYC-based experiential event designer Adam Aleksander.
Every box will include:
Duo of Mini Cocktail Shakers from Hamptons Lane ($30)
Shake things up at your Gatsby party with custom-crafted cocktails, each individually shaken or stirred in a mini stainless steel cocktail shaker. The miniature size is perfect for an individual serving, and the set of two allows for multiple cocktails to be concocted at once. Each shaker is a three-piece set – a cup, strainer, and lid that also doubles as a measuring unit for .5 oz. Hand wash only.
Lavender-Lemon Simple Syrup from Royal Rose Syrups ($12)
Nothing says easy breezy craft cocktail like citrus and floral-herbaceous flavors, and this simple syrup has them both. An award-winning, organic syrup, it is the perfect ingredient for craft cocktails like Lavender Smash, the Polo Player’s Mint Julep, and Daisy’s Daiquiri.
Wooden Cocktail Muddler from Hamptons Lane ($10)
Making fancy cocktails is easy when you have the right tools to get the job done, and a muddler is one of those essential items. Use your muddler to crush citrus & fruit together with sugars & bitters to create cocktails with big fresh flavors. Plus, it gives your bar set up a nice artisanal flair. Hand wash only.
Ginger Lemon Bitters from Hella Bitters ($10)
A New York City favorite, this hand crafted bitters are truly unique. Their formula uses both dried and crystallized ginger and lots of real lemon peels to create a bitters with the vibrant kick you expect from ginger coupled with the brightness of lemon. It lends itself well to sweet, savory, spicy, and earthy cocktails like the F. Scott Gin Rickey and Manhattan Moonshine’s Charleston Bramble.
Citrus Twist Peeler from Hamptons Lane ($5)
A good craft cocktail is one part delicious flavor, one part fabulous garnish. This citrus peeler creates chic swirls of citrus ringlets with the flick of your wrist. Use the twists to adorn your cocktail creations a la Jay Gatsby, and let the classic artisanal look of the wooden handled twist peeler speak for itself on your bar party set up.
Gold Cocktail Rimming Sugar from Dell Cove Spice Co. ($5)
Nothing like a little gold sparkle to liven up a cocktail party! Kick it up a notch on your cocktails with edible gold sugar artistically fashioned around the rims of glasses. We particularly love it for champagne drinks, like the French Lavender 75, or around the rim of a Classic Side Car cocktail.
