[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3863771, member: 13337"] I have a "hobby" of making little alcohol treats for gifts,,, I usually use Mason Jars as the drink base. I will place one of the small (7.5 ounce) cans of soda in the jar,,, Cut a scrap of colorful cloth to decorate the lid,,, And tie an airline Mini of booze to it. Jim Beam & Coke Bacardi Rum & Coke Southern Comfort and Sprite Seagrams-7 & and Seven-Up Captain Morgan spiced rum & Dr. Pepper Gin and Ginger Ale Vodka and Sprite Etc. I stopped at a garage sale one day and bought,,, Six dozen brand new Mason jars with lids still in the plastic wrap. I paid $1.00 per dozen. When Oklahoma finally allowed the sale of the 50 ml (1.7 ounce) Mini's,,, All my gift giving problems went away. I worked at OSU for 21 years,,, Not a week would go by that someone wasn't having a birthday,,, I got into the habit of keeping an assortment of a half a dozen or more in my desk drawer. If someone had an event that merited a small gift,,, I was armed and ready,,, So to speak. Even if you don't use the Mason Jar in the gift,,, Just tying one Mini to a 7.5 ounce can of soda is a nice treat. Come Christmas time I would make up a huge basket of assorted treats like that,,, Then let all of my work acquaintances pick out a favorite drink,,, Usually cost me $50-60 bucks but that was a bargain. I schedule a dental cleaning appointment every 6 months,,, When I go into the reception area I take my basket of alcoholic treats,,, It's so fun to watch those very nice ladies (who take so good care of me) dive into the basket. I retired in Jan of 2021 but recently took a part-time job in a Mom-n-Pop liquor store,,, The Manager saw on of my jar creations and is going to try a Christmas Gift promo. An ideal "Highball" is 4 parts soda to one part liquor,,, That's 8 ounces of soda to 1.7 ounces (a mini) of booze,,, Okay, it's not an exact 4 to 1 ration but it's cert6ainly close enough. So we did the math and decided that since a mason jar will hold three little bottles,,, We'll market the jar with three bottles inside of it,,, Along with two 12 ounce cans of soda. That makes three 8 ounce portions of soda,,, That will make three 8 ounce/1.7 ounce Highballs. Because of the Mason jar,,, We call it the "[B]Redneck Highball Kit[/B]". I also use the smaller 8 ounce Mason Jars,,, I tie one Mini of a sipping liquor to it,,, Something you don't mix with soda. That and two ice cubes makes a great "On the Rocks" treat,,, We call this variation the "[B]Redneck Rocks Glass[/B]". Just last week my favorite Nurse at my clinic retired,,, I gave her a Redneck Highball Glass with three drinks attached. She told me once she is a whiskey girl so she got a: So-Co and Sprite, Jim Beam and Coke, and a Seagram's 7 and Seven-Up. In the same basket ($1.50 at a thrift store) lined with a $1.00 Bandana from Hobby Lobby,,, She also got a Redneck Rocks Glass with a Mini each of Crown Royal, Even Williams Apple, and Bird Dog Peach whiskeys. She gave me a Big-old-Hug and started crying. Mission accomplished! :) I know this isn't especially gun related,,, But the OP was for Mason jars,,, I like Mason Jars. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
