Hey

Can you think of a good SF or Oakland store (aside from Cost Plus and Sur La Table) to buy little bottles for my homemade liqueur? The cheapah the bettah!

You might want to try the Container Store in San Francisco or the Crate and Barrel outlet in Berkeley.

I made limoncello last year and had the same problem as you do. I was looking for 750ml bottles with attached stoppers. I found them for $9 each, which was silly. BUT at the same store (CostPlus) I found some weird French soda in the exact same bottles on sale for $1.75 each. I bought a whole shopping cart full.

Smart. I actually have limoncello but not a ton, so I am going to put it in small bottles as gifts. I'll check out some smaller sized soda bottles. That could be cute.

What about Rainbow Grocery or Smart and Final?

Try your favorite watering hole or resto. especially if they use the small dessert-wine type bottles. I used to save bottles for one of our regs.@ my resto. who paid a buck-a-bottle for them. (Generous soul that I am, I refused payment, though now....I sure could use a few extra dollars...) Adam

ooooh awesome idea!! I actually did put some in Straus cream sized bottles but I'm actually looking for a little smaller, gift size. Thanks for the idea!

What size exactly, shot size or bigger, 4, 6, 8 oz?

sorry i should have read that more thoroughly - let me give it some more thought (i'm too tired to be posting today!)

sunburst bottles
specialty bottles or
even cost plus
california glass but they have a high minimum!

[gourmandadventurer]

All great ideas. I'm thinking this size or smaller.

Sur La Table had some but they had those rubber stopper Grolsch type tops. I'll check out those places you mentioned. Thanks :)
