Awesome Liquor

Artist and maker Hassan Abu-Izmero was given the nacelle from a decommissioned jet engine as a gift. After thinking about what to do with the unusual piece of junk, he decided to clean out its interior, add shelves and lights, and turn it into a liquor cabinet for storing his whiskey. It’s a cool build, though we’d need a 777 engine to hold all our booze.

Furniture maker Brian Bauer builds these wall-mounted storage units that look like the tailgates of classic pickup trucks. They’re molded from lightweight fiberglass, and have interior wood shelving for bottles and glassware. They have working taillights and can be painted in your color of choice.

Keep your booze and barware organized and ready to serve in this vintage-style steamer trunk from Design Toscano. It offers plenty of storage space for bottles, glassware, and accessories, and sits on six casters for easy movement. Its exterior features a replica of an 18th-century nautical map.

While these aren’t actual containers for booze, it might be fun to show up at your next party taking a swig of Jagermeister, Jack or Absolut from a milk carton, as envisioned by artist Jørn.

If you think Whiskey Stones are neat but would rather not see them swimming in your drink, maybe you’ll like them better as shot glasses. Just leave these in the freezer for 4 hours before use.

Made from a used suitcase. Carries (and includes) 5 17oz glass flasks, 4 glasses, 4 shot glasses and a bottle opener. Technically you could still carry this around, but it was meant to be wall-mounted.

If you’ve ever wondered where your liver hails from, Exboyfriend’s tee provides a fun (and boozy) beverage map. Warning: spanning the globe in our evening is not recommended. (Thanks Meredith!)

Dutch beverage maker Medea is offering a small batch, wheat-based vodka that comes in a bottle with a 255 character/6 message programmable LED display. Haiku contest anyone?

Gummy bear shot glasses? The fact that it took 30,000 gummy bears to make the brick wall and that the glasses apparently are “freakin’ delicious” is reason enough to check out Vat19’s goofy video.

Beloved by bikers and a favorite of Sinatra (he was buried with a bottle), this Jack Daniel’s Chess Set celebrates its heritage; Jack serves as King while Black Label bottles are pawns.
