W&P Craft Bloody Mary Cocktail Kit, Mini Portable Carry On Travel Cocktail Kit, 1 Pack

I travel on the train a decent amount many times 8 - 10 hrs. This kit is great for just a cocktail or two before dinner. Sadly train travel has decreased over the years so gone are many bar/lounge cars on trains. It fits petfectly in my cooler with two nips of vodka in the cooler and a can of tomato juice as well. (Not paying $8 for one nip of vodka in the snack car) Now taste wise I found that the bloody mary mix was well seasoned and just right in spiciness. I don't like extra spicy so on the first drink I tried it without rimming the cup with the rimming salt. Second drink I made I tried rimming the glass with the rimming salt which is actually a cajun spicy seasoning called slap ya momma. My lips were burning! Still drank it but wow that made it hot! The pickles they included kinda puzzled me. Celery ok but a pickle? I ate them seperately not in my drink. Still the kit was enough to relax me with two drinks so 5 stars. Why this product loses 1 star though is the bottle the bloody mary mix came in. No safety seal. That kind of bothered me because the package is not shrink wrapped or anything. Now the last part of my review addresses the other reviewers who complained that its too expensive for 2 drinks and its not refillable. YES IT IS. Do a search on Amazon for Bloody Mary Mix and you will find plenty. I personally refill mine with Dimitri's Mix and it even has a small spout so it makes refilling the little container in this kit easy. Yes you can reuse the bottle it will not leak and it is TSA compliant size. The seasoning mix is a little more tricky but personally I felt it was too hot for my taste. Still its called slap ya mamma cajun seasoning and available on Amazon but Im not sure how you can put that in the tin as it came in a little packet. The pickles? I guess you could get one of the mini pickle cups or the small snack size pouches that a few convienence stores sell but I just don't think a pickle belongs in a bloody mary.....

I was wary about buying this after all the negative reviews but there were some good ones too so I took a chance, and it paid off! I got mine super quickly. I got two of the bloody mary ones. They had little plastic bags they were in where the shipping label was placed so it didn't harm the packaging of the tins. I opened them both up and everything was nicely packed in the tin, in a little pouch. There was no leak and the bottles were clean and fine. The only reason I gave 4 stars for value is bc I didn't know that besides the mini vodkas you also have to buy cans of tomato juice, and the recipe doesn't say what size. But other than that, great gift! I'm excited to see how my aunts like it!

These kits are a little pricey on a per-cocktail basis, but I got a few as stocking stuffers, and the sub-$20 price is perfect for a Yankee Swap. People have tended to love getting them as gifts, especially for frequent travelers. For whatever reason, this Bloody Mary kit was a bit cheaper than the others at the time when I purchased it, although now it looks like the price has rebounded (from $15 up to $23). The plus of the Bloody Mary kit is that you can drink them on a morning flight too!In terms of the actual drink, the volume of the Bloody Mary mix certainly makes for a much smaller Bloody Mary than usual. The pickles are a neat little touch. The rimming salt is near useless though, IMO. It seems like it would make too much of a mess to try and apply it to a cup in-flight. You could just sprinkle a bit on top of the drink for flavor though.

I got this as a travel gift for my boyfriend before our long plane ride to Italy. This is the coolest packing idea and I love that it is so minimal. The design is very urban/hipster stylistic and he absolutely loved it! It comes with a little metal bar spoon and a half ounce jigger along with tonic syrup, a recipe card, and a little linen coaster for your drink. It does not include gin which is probably a good thing since you add your favorite gin of choice. It comes with enough tonic syrup for two perfect little cocktails. The only thing I don’t like about this product is how overpriced it is. Twenty-three dollars for some tonic syrup with a spoon and a tin is a bit extreme. But the packing is cute so I bought it anyways. Since it is such a nice size to travel with I will probably just end up making a tonic syrup to refill that bottle instead of buying another kit.

I was really worried about ordering this product, especially after reading some of the reviews. However, when my kit came in everything was in perfect shape. The tin was not dented or scratched. Everything was tucked neatly inside the tin, including the napkin, in a small drawstring bag. This was a gift, so I cannot comment on the taste. The presentation is great. Although the price is a bit high, it is a fun treat to include in my travel themed gift basket. I would recommend this product and will likely be making future purchases for gifts. Thank you!

LOVE this. Got this for my husband on Father's Day, he loved it. It's a very classy, but also cute gift that was perfect. It let him know I was thinking of him and our next trip together. It's just expensive, I wish it cost less, we would order a ton more.

I bought these as stocking stuffers for my sons so I can’t speak to the taste but I did want to let potential buyers know that the kits I received came in plastic bags and didn’t have stickers on the tin itself. Some purchasers received tins with stock labels on them which certainly detract from the presentation impact of this gift. At least for my purchase, I am happy with the appearance of the item.

For the cost I would have expected a small bottle of gin. a metal tin plus spoon, gel and napkin is a little steep in price!I also think it should be advertise clearly that there are NO liquids (gin or soda)!!

Entiendo que puede ser un problema del manejo de la paquetería, pero pensaría que por ser una caja de aluminio la que protege los contenidos, éstos deberían llegar en buen estado. No fue así. La "ampolleta" de cristal que viene dentro, para preparar el old fashioned, venía rota y completamente derramada. La segunda caja venía bien pero honestamente el precio no vale el contenido.

Got this for my husband’s bday! Can’t wait to see the look on his face. Pricey but, perfect as a gift.

Just received this and syrup is expired from 3 months ago. Bottle looks really cheap. Very disappointed. Doesnt give me option to return!

Haven’t tried it yet but sure will.
