This is a straight-forward large ice cube mold that any bourbon lover should have in their freezer.

This is the perfect gift for a bourbon drinker because it creates large, slow-melting ice spheres that chill the bourbon without diluting it quickly, allowing for a more prolonged sipping experience and preserving the drink's flavor.

This is for the bourbon drinker who appreciates the finer things in life (or likes to pretend they do while they're sipping bourbon).

This personalized ice mold can be made in a variety of sizes and customized with a monogram, initials, or text.

For making Boulevardiers and Manhattans, you'll need sweet vermouth. This makes a great addition to any well-stocked bar.

Also for a Boulevardier, you'll need Campari, an aperitif made with bitters.

For Boulevardiers and Old Fashioneds you'll need an orange curl.

The best tool I've found for making that perfect orange twist is a channel knife like this one and no ultimate gift guide would be complete without it. 

The most important thing to remember when it comes to garnishes for Manhattans and Boulevardiers, and I cannot stress this enough, is that bright red maraschino cherries are not real maraschino cherries! 

If you're going to make the drink right, you simply can't do it without the right cherries.

The Luxardo maraschino cherry, as far as I'm concerned, is the only maraschino cherry. The texture is like velvet and the flavor just cannot be duplicated.
