The NIO 9 Cocktail Starter Kit

The two tumblers have a nice weight to them, and the XL ice cube mould means my old cloudy cubes are history. These nine picks cover all the classics I'd want to show off with, so I’m actually hosting a proper cocktail night this weekend instead of just talking about it.

The XL ice cube mould is a game changer—those big cubes actually make the drinks look like they came from a fancy bar instead of my kitchen counter. I’ve already worked through four of the nine cocktails and each one’s been spot-on, so the free tumblers are just a bonus I didn’t expect.

The two tumblers feel properly weighted and sturdy, which honestly surprised me for a starter kit. Mixed my first Old Fashioned with the XL ice cube from the mould and it looked almost too good to drink.
