We've all seen the Candy Bar Stories all over Facebook and Pinterest. They are all cute and an easy gift for pretty much anybody that loves candy. For my husband's, then fiancé, 21st Birthday I decided to put a twist on the Candy Bar Story by creating a story using mini liquor bottles. Needless to say he loved it!
The Mini Liquor Bottle Story took some time and planning. I brainstormed different sayings to go with different liquor brands and made a list (see below for ideas). Once I had a list of ideas I hit the stores. I bought the nicer brands and the Bud Light at Liquor World. They varied in price but I believe the most I spent was around $3 on the Crown Royal. I also visited Liquor Mart because they had a bin of $1 mini liquors. I dug through the bin to see what I could find. I was able to find the American Honey and Fireball which were both on my list and I found the Pucker and XO which weren't on my list but I knew I could use them.
I didn't get everything on my list but I got a few others that ended up working just fine. I tried to get more Whiskey type liquors because my husband likes Whiskey better than Vodka so keep in mind what the person you are making the Mini Liquor Bottle Story for prefers.
Once I bought all the alcohol I was ready to put the story together. I typed the story up on my computer to make sure it fit together well then I wrote it on a poster using sharpies. I drew the mini liquor bottles on the poster as well and colored them in using colored pencils. I drew the liquor bottles on the poster because I knew my husband would drink the liquor and I wanted my husband to still be able to read the story for years to come!
Here is the final poster:
To my HONEY,
I hope you have an ABSOLUTely Amazing Birthday! Just because we can't go to AMSTERDAM doesn't mean we're going to sit home... No way JOSE! Tonight is your night so go WILD and set the world on FIRE. It's your 21st Birthday so you should be treaded like a King, CROWN and all. Oh and remember tonight you shouldn't have to pay for JACK shit! So PUCKER up and give me kiss and if you get way to drunk or into trouble, I've got your back BUD.

You can also use Jim Bean, Jack Daniels, Jameson, or Jose Cuervo as names.
There are hundreds of different liquors out there and I'm sure several of them would work in a cute story. If you have a local liquor store that has a bin of mini liquor bottles or viewing access, (some places have the bottles on a side wall or locked up so you can't see them to prevent theft) I recommend checking it out and looking at all the brands because it may help you come up with something else or you can just use my story!

ReplyDeletei have these minitures....any ideas....Chivas Regal 18, Bells, Bacardi Gold, Musgrave Gin, Malibu, Jack Daniels, Ballentines Finest
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what it is for (birthday, husband, 21st, anniversary) but maybe one of these will work:
Delete“I wish we were sitting in MALIBU drinking GIN but we can still have all the BELLS and whistles here. We can party like it's 2018 with a pocket full of GOLD. Tonight you shouldn't have to pay for JACK because you are the FINEST in my eyes!”
OR
"I wish we were sitting in MALIBU drinking GIN but we can still have all the BELLS and whistles here. These are the GOLDen years so we are going to party like it's 2018 because you are the FINEST in my eyes so tonight you are not going to pay for JACK."
You can maybe try "have a BALL tonight" or "remember when you turned 18"
