THE MASON SHAKER by Cuppow $29.99

McCLURE’S SPICY BLOODY MARY MIX $12.5O
After the presents have been opened, the last of the merriment made, and the 2O13 holiday season of cheer exists only as a shimmering memory, it is time to kick back in pj’s with a proper Bloody Mary (a.k.a. brunch in a glass).  Start with McClure’s astoundingly flavorful blend of tomato paste, pickle brine and freshly pressed cucumber juice and keep it simple by adding a healthy pour of whatever ice cold vodka is closest to your still-sleepy hand.  Garnish the beverage with preferred pickled vegetables and take a long slow sip – you’ve made it to the other side!  Available for wholesale by emailing orders@mcclurespickles.com.

GLASS PORRÓN WINE PITCHER by La Tienda $22.5O
This Spanish vessel multi-tasks as a decanter, a unique serving piece, and most importantly, a party game.  The object?  Pour wine into your mouth without letting the spout touch your lips for a hygienic and thirst quenching achievement.  The risk?  Missing your mark and messing up your party attire.  Regardless of your skill level, the porrón is meant to be passed around a group and is a sure-fire conversation starter for acquaintances new and old.  Master the technique with a traditional Cava or sangria, or fill it with your wine of choice.  Available for wholesale by emailing wholesale@tienda.com.
