I'm making a Martini themed basket.. approx. spending is $50?!
Answers: I'm making a martini themed gift basket and have about $50 to spend.. What should I put in the basket.. ? I have Indian's club seat tickets(donated) in the basket, but that's about all.. The basket is raffled off for charity... Thanks..
Think about what you need in a Martini. A couple of martini glasses (maybe $3-4 ea), a martini shaker/w strainer(3-10 bucks), 1 small jar of green olives (no more than 3 bucks), some kind of Gin ($12-30), a small bottle of vermouth (???). Perhaps a martini "handbook" (could vary). All this together should definately not be more than $50 and are things that you can get at your local liquor store or at liquor outlet like Specs. The gin doesnt have to be anything expensive although many gins can be. Good Luck with your raffle.
2 martini glasses, vermouth, Beefeater Gin and olives.
For $50 you should be able to include:
2 martini glasses
1 bottle of Tanqurey Gin
1 bottle of Martini and Rossi Vermouth
1 jar of olives
That's a complete martini set ready to go!
Gray Goose Vodka
2 - martini glasses
stainless steel shaker
Vermouth soaked olives (they sell these at a lot of kitchen places, like Crate and Barrel)
olive "picks" (stainless or glass picks that stick the olives on to go in the drink)
If you have money left to spend (unlikely) get one of the flavorings or glass rimmers.
Look on this web site www.Stirrings.com they have good "mixers" everything from a cosmo to peppermintini. They also have "rimmers". Buy some martini glasses you can get a couple at Pier one and they are not that expensive.
