Personalize a cocktail mix for a friend

There are infinite things you can do with alcohol. I don't mean in the drinking it/snorting it/inhaling it sort of way, but in terms of the kinds of mixtures you can concoct. This makes alcoholic drinks ripe for customization. So an easy yet highly enjoyable gift for a friend is a cocktail designed with his/her preferences in mind. This could mean a dusting of chili powder for someone who likes spice or a combination of rum and lychee liqueur for your Jamaican-Chinese best pal. Attaching a recipe card to the bottle is a must so that the drink can be replicated by your friend.


Effort involved: ten minutes of messing about in the kitchen, ideally with ingredients you already have on hand.
