Expert Picks: Brunch God-Approved Gift Guide
When it comes to gifting drinks (or drink gear), I look for three things: quality, style, and real-world usefulness. These are the exact picks I curated and presented live on national TV. Whether you’re shopping for a host, a cocktail lover, or someone upgrading their home bar, this list delivers.
Best Cocktail Set
Casamigos Cocktail Gift Set — $56.95
Exclusive to Williams Sonoma
A polished, all-in-one gift built around Casamigos tequila. Approachable, crowd-pleasing, and ideal for effortless entertaining, this set removes the guesswork from cocktail gifting and looks great on a bar cart.

This is celebratory Champagne with culture baked in. Elegant and expressive, it’s perfect for brunch toasts or milestone moments when Prosecco just won’t cut it.

For the Wine Lover
Usual Wines Set (6 bottles) — $48
Single-serve bottles with real wine and no pretension. Ideal for gifting, portion control, or wine lovers who want variety without committing to a full bottle.

For the Spirit Lover
Puerto de Indias Strawberry & Pure Black Gin — $24.50
A two-gin moment that delivers contrast and versatility. One bottle is fruity and playful, the other bold and dramatic. Both work beautifully in brunch cocktails, spritzes, or a simple gin and tonic.

Engineered to enhance aroma and flavor without swirling. If someone enjoys whiskey, mezcal, or rum neat, this glass is a meaningful upgrade.

For Non-Alcoholic Drinkers
