I Tried a Cocktail-in-a-Box Service — And It Changed The Way I Drink

OK, so you have a bar cart and some basic bar tools, but now what? When a friend stopped by to check out our new digs, I welcomed her with a Fallin' South cocktail, a take on the classic old-fashioned but with spiced maple syrup for sweetness. Nothing made me feel more legit than watching her face after taking that first sip. If you're throwing a dinner party, cocktail kits can be even more handy because guests can mix their own cocktails while you finish prepping. Just lay out all of the ingredients, glasses, and bar tools, pop the ingredient card in a small picture frame, and you're set!
