Let’s be honest - flowers wilt and jewellery can feel impersonal (or stressful to get right). If you’re looking for an anniversary gift that’s thoughtful, elevated and a little more original, you’re in the right place.
At Kocktail, we craft premium bottled cocktails in small batches, designed to make everyday moments feel like celebrations. Each drink is bar-quality and beautifully packaged, with options to personalise and curate - no cliché gifts in sight.
Here are our favourite non-traditional anniversary gift ideas that feel meaningful, modern and guaranteed to be used (and loved).
1. Build-Your-Own Collection
Instead of another bunch of flowers, give a gift with real flavour. Our Build a Collection set lets you choose four 100ml cocktails to create a completely personalised tasting experience - perfect for couples, cocktail lovers, or a curated night in.
Includes:
- Four cocktails of your choice
- Matching garnishes
- “Story Behind the Serve” cards
- Elegant gift packaging
2. The Classic Collection
A pre-curated set featuring four of Kocktail’s most-loved serves:
- Margarita
- Passionfruit Martini
- Amaretto Sour
- Espresso Martini
Each 100ml bottle comes with garnish and a story card for a refined, ready-to-gift option that feels anything but generic.
3. Espresso Martini
If you’re looking for something that feels luxurious but still comes in under £50, our 500ml Espresso Martini is a best-selling choice. Rich, smooth and made for shaking and sharing, it’s a cocktail gift with plenty of personality.
4. The Negroni Collection
A brilliant gift for those who appreciate something bold and bitter. This boxed set includes four Negroni variations (100ml each) with garnishes and story cards, all wrapped in sleek, gift-ready packaging.
5. The Kocktail Mixed Case
Want something more substantial than a bouquet? This premium set includes six 500ml bottled cocktails, offering a full cocktail bar experience at home. It’s a generous, milestone-worthy gift that makes an impression - no roses required.
Why These Work Better Than the Usual Options

- Handcrafted cocktails with a personal feel
