When you have a friend who either works as a bartender or who is quite the amateur mixologist, they might very well be the person who is always on the guest list at your parties and get-togethers. They are simply the best as mixing up the most delightful drinks for you and the rest of your friends.

Having a friend who is so reliable in this way is great. It does, however, mean that you might want to do something extra special for them whenever an occasion arises when you can get them a present. Whether they are about to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary of some sort, you should take the time to find them the perfect present.

That being said, finding the right gift for a bartender can be a challenge. They likely have most of the equipment that they need to create colorful cocktails, and if they work as a bartender then they probably have most of what they need supplied by their place of employment.

If you are struggling to find the right gift for the bartender in your life, here are a few suggestions that you can consider.

A New Apron

Over the course of their years as a bartender, it is likely that your friend has experienced their fair share of spills and splashes. Depending on what sort of ingredients they are working with, they might also be familiar with stains that are tough to get out of their clothes. For these reasons, a quality, stylish apron would make the perfect present.

There are a variety of colors and cuts to choose from when it comes to picking an apron. Some are even designed specifically with bartenders in mind. Take a little time to check out the best sellers in aprons to find the ideal option for your bartending bestie.

A Portable Bartending Set

Even though your pal might already have an entire set of things that they need to mix up delicious drinks at work or at their house, they might like to have a set of bartending equipment and tools that they can bring along with them wherever they go. 

With a portable bartending set, they can be the life of the party at every picnic, celebration, or small get-together that they attend. Make sure that the kit you find has a quality case included so that their equipment is safe from any damage as they go from one party to the next.

A Quality Watch

Although this gift isn’t exactly bartender specific, a quality watch is a great idea when you are really looking to spoil the mixologist in your life. When a bartender is shaking or mixing up creative cocktails, folks are bound to watch them in action.

With so much focus on their hands, they will be happy to have a quality timepiece on their wrist for some additional flair. Moreover, when someone is in such a fast-paced line of work, keeping an eye on the time is always a good idea.

And finally, here are some brilliant tricks for beginner bartenders to look hot behind the bar:
