The end of summer has a lovely slow-paced, sun-kissed feeling, which is perfect for savoring these final lazy weekends.  

If you haven’t yet taken time for a summer holiday, you’re likely gearing up to make the most of this final summer weekend with a getaway to a rental house, a stay with friends, or even a creative staycation.  Wherever you are jetting off, we have some beautifully packaged beverages that can capture the vibe of any trip and boost the mood of any group.  

Whether for yourself to enjoy or as a host gift, there is something on this list for everyone to enjoy while you soak up the last bits of summer! Bottoms up!

HAUS SAMPLER KIT - $50

These good-looking, low-profile bottles blend seamlessly into any living room style. Haus apéritifs are a modern take on an old classic, with a low ABV and multiple blends you’re sure to please any crowd. You can customize your sampler box to suit any season or celebration vibe you’re going for. According to the company their apéritifs have the “complexity of a cocktail, but are low enough in alcohol content (stronger than wine, lighter than whiskey) that you can enjoy them in a cocktail, without the consequences.”

MONDAY ZERO ALCOHOL GIN - $39

If you dream of parties with Great Gatsby vibes minus the hangover, this bottle of zero alcohol gin is an art deco dream with its bold label and gold accents. The concept behind Monday Zero Alcohol Gin is one many can get behind, “Monday is committed to giving ‘alcohol avoiders’ an option to enjoy a proper cocktail without worrying about how they’ll feel the next day.” 

TEN TO ONE DARK RUM- $49 

Ten to One arrives in a sleek glass bottle with a classic wooden closure.  The label has clean lines and a gold seal that evokes a high-end whiskey vibe. The packaging gives off a polished aesthetic without any stuffiness. As stated on their website, these are not your spring break rums.  Ten to One intends to reimagine rum as the high-end spirit it is meant to be.  

NGUYEN COFFEE SUPPLY - From $15 

This is an artisanal coffee everyone can feel good about craving and is sure to please.  Beyond the minimal design and color block packaging, you have a women-owned brand committed to integrity, transparency, and sustainability. Working directly with sustainable producers in Vietnam, Nguyen Coffee Supply sources the best arabica and robusta beans and roasts them right in Brooklyn, NY. They also have the stylish filter for your pour-over coffee aficionados, making this the perfect addition to these fleeting summer mornings. 

IVY’S TEA - From $15.99

If you are looking for tea, for yourself or as a gift, with an edge, look no further. Each of Ivy’s Tea products comes lovingly blended by its founder and owner Shanae Jones.  There are so many offerings from fruity to spicy flavor profiles, all packaged in artfully labeled resealable bags.  Don’t miss a chance to check out the trap china and teaspoons, along with all the other items they offer that could turn an elegant tea into the perfect host gift. 

DRINK GHIA - $33

Bold 70’s packaging with red and gold accents set this bottle apart on the bar. What takes Ghia further is its commitment to the aperitivo without the alcohol. “...a bold combination of botanicals that kickstart the appetite and the conversation.” Ghia delivers a non-alcohol, vegan, and gluten-free elixir that is sure to wow you and your guests and your bar cart!

REDD ROSE VODKA - $25

The dark and sexy packaging of Redd Rose Vodka is a stunner.  With its strawberry lemonade flavor, this premium vodka is meant to be sipped on ice and shared among friends.  A lovely way to ring in the end of summer while watching the sunset and an even more perfect gift for your hosts. 

BOON BOONA COFFEE - From $20

Looking for something that gives off an artistic vibe? The hand-drawn, colorful look of Boon Boona Coffee’s packaging will hit the spot. The resealable bags fit seamlessly into any summer morning routine you want to add a little magic too! Created to celebrate East African coffee culture and ceremony, you will find no shortage of unique coffee blends to sip.

RITUAL ZERO PROOF WHISKEY - $29

If you’re a whiskey lover looking to avoid alcohol, we have a perfect choice.  Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey is a beautifully packaged non-alcohol option to enjoy on a quiet evening as you watch the summer sunset.  The packaging is minimalist in nature, with clean lines and a solid pop of color that complement the sleek bottle and raw wood closure.  Not overly fancy or ornate, this bottle exudes comfort and relaxation. 

BROCHA IXTERO AMARILLO AGAVE SPIRIT - From $140

For the mezcal lover in your life, bring them something truly special.  Not a traditional mezcal, this ‘destilados de agave’ is blended by generational mezcal aficionados, the Partida Family.  The story and the classic packaging give off bespoke, hand-stamped, small-batch vibes. Sip neat and savor the last flavors of summer.  

HANA MAKGEOLLI - From $14

Want to bring something truly unique to the table? Give Hana Hana Makgeolli, a Korean fermented rice wine, a try.  The delicately tapered glass bottle, with crimped closure, and the milky look of the wine elicit nostalgic memories of glass bottle milk deliveries. “The HWAJU 12 is 12% ABV, ever so sweet, earthy, delicately floral, and bright with naturally occurring lactic acid and effervescence.” There is so much history that goes into the tradition of Makgeolli making it a perfect conversation starter and gift.
