It’s the most wonderful time of the year — the time for giving (and receiving) gifts. Whether you’re looking to surprise a family member, a boss, or simply surprise an old friend, alcohol serves as the perfect gift.

Giving spirits can be a wonderful gift during this year - especially ones that are delicious and easy to make. If you’re looking to pour a friend a drink during the end of this trying year, there are a few ways to make sure your gift receives the toast it deserves.

Do’s and Dont’s

Do: Consider their personal taste profiles.
If they love sweet and fruity, consider trying the Glenlivet 12 Year Old Strawberry or Avion Island Escape. If you think they like a hint of holiday cheer with their drink - consider our Johnnie Walker Spiced Apple Highball or Tanqueray Gin Cinnamon.

Do: Deliver to their door.
Now more than ever, people are looking for convenience (and safety!) in their drinking experiences with close friends and family.

Do: Support local.
With many businesses closed and many bars and bartenders out of work, it’s more important (and cooler!) than ever to shop up for people impacted by the hospitality crisis. Here at Sourced, we’re doing everything we can to support the people that used to help make our outings.

Do: Embrace fresh ingredients.
Fresh ingredients change everything — whether it be in your favorite meal or your favorite drink.

Do: Consider the crowd.
If you’re gifting to a household or office, consider gifting enough for everyone to experiment with a new drink. Our Sourced on Tap allow you to consider both small and large sizes of our draft cocktail infuser.

Don’t: Provide only one option.
We’ve noticed that people prefer either a clear spirit or dark spirit when raising a glass. Don’t make that difficult decision for your gift recipient. If you are unsure about your friend’s preference, order a holiday cocktail kit from Sourced that features one of each, so that there’s a drink for any taste.

Don’t: Just gift a bottle.
As great as alcohol is, some people aren’t informed on the art of making the perfect cocktail. Go the extra mile and be extra thoughtful by giving them full flavors for them to experience and enjoy individually or with the closest members of their tribe. Our cocktail kits come with a homemade mixers, batched together using fresh, whole ingredients (with no artificial preservatives added) that bring out the distinct flavors for your choice of spirit.

Don’t: Embrace classics but don’t be boring.
Enough said. Be creative. Now is the time to experiment with a new experience and new flavor profiles. Here at Source Craft Cocktails, we now offer Sourced on Tap, the first-to-market draft cocktail diffuser, which is a perfect treat for personal holiday entertaining and gifting this holiday season. Simply pull the handle on the On Tap infuser for a premium mixed cocktail everytime. It's exactly what you need for stress-free cocktails this time of year.

October flavors mean more than just pumpkin spice. Apples, cinnamon, brown sugar and maple syrup are some additional flavors that will tell your tastebuds that 'sweater weather' has arrived.

We've releases a new slate of cocktails for Today's Menu and our Draft Pass collections that reflect October's arrival. Whether you're planning a Halloween get together or a relaxing evening by the fireplace, the new fall lineup from Sourced Craft Cocktails has an expertly blended mix of cocktails that are perfect for you.

National Bourbon Heritage Month is celebrated all across the United States every year throughout the month of September and it's only right that Sourced celebrates this year too! We're excited to announce that we've partnered with Balcones to bring you a full Bourbon Heritage Month experience. Introducing the Bourbon Heritage Month cocktail package! 

You will not only get some fantastic cocktails featuring Balcones' delicious Texas Pot Still Bourbon, but with each cocktail purchase, you'll get an invite to our exclusive immersive distillery tour experience where Sourced will teach you how to make your cocktails and a Balcones' whisky expert will take guests on a tour of the distillery walking them through their process and have everyone taste and smell along with them (with the ingredients included in your kit). Did we also mention you'll be getting a barrel stave piece, grain bill, and Wee Glencairns?!

Celebrate this bourbon filled month with a full experience - it's only right. 

The Immersive Distillery Tour Experience will start at 4pm CST on Saturday, October 3rd. 

*An email invite will be sent out 24 hrs ahead of the virtual experience with instructions on how to log in and join us!

The summer is here (well it's kinda been here) and you may be like some of us here on staff; struggling to have some fun in the sun. No matter where you are in the country, we think you can agree that this summer looks a little different than last year. 

Do you miss going to the beach? Or what about getting buried in the sand with the sun hitting your face? Or what about just going to a good restaurant or bar? While we may not be able to provide you with a beach, we do have another great option for you! 

The 4th of July has always been a big deal in our house. Being able to have family over, eat delicious food, and watch the fireworks from our lawn is something everyone looks forward to. Given the pandemic, our family has started to wonder what the heck we are going to do on this celebratory day not just all across the country, but specifically in our house. 

June is here, which means we get to celebrate someone pretty special....our fathers! Even though this Father's Day may look a little different due to the pandemic, we have a great way for you to show dad some love.

We've teamed up with Garrison Brothers to bring dads all across the country a much needed escape on his special day. With our brand new Father's Day Cocktail Package Cocktail Kit, dads will get a full immersive cocktail experience delivered right to his door. 

They are the superwomen without the cape, but with all of the love. Mother's Day is here and we at Sourced want to help you celebrate the mother's in your life in a big way. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson decided to set this day aside so that everyone would have the opportunity to say thank you in a special way to mothers. 

Getting ready to celebrate next Tuesday's holiday with a round of Margaritas?! Us too! But while you're sipping on those refreshing margaritas we want to take a moment to throw some knowledge out there and fast facts abut this holiday out to remind everyone that Cinco de Mayo is more than just an excuse to eat amazing food and drink margaritas. 

Sourced is excited to announce a program to help companies keep their team members connected and morale up through our new virtual happy hours.
