CHANCES ARE your husband/nephew/brother-in-law will embrace this gin-infusion kit and very soon produce a spreadsheet of all the flavorings he has produced. From Man Crates, the Personalized Gin-Fusion Kit includes a couple of handsome 375mL glass bottles and corks for experiments, labels for the results, 10 botanicals (berries, pods, lavender, etc.) and recipes to start him off. It all arrives in a handsome cardboard presentation box; $69.99.
If you don’t want your gift recipient to overthink things, there’s a more basic Gin O’Clock infusion kit with eight botanicals at a more stocking-stuffer price of $19.99 at World Market stores and online. This one includes rose petals!
