Julibox – December 2012 Review – Monthly Cocktail and Drinks Subscription Boxes
This is my first Julibox and I was so impressed with the packaging – I couldn’t stop taking pictures!
The Box: Julibox
The Cost: $40 a month ($36 a month with 6 month subscription)
The Products: Cocktails and mixers needed to make 2 cocktails (2 servings for each drink - 4 drinks total)
Recipe cards for Magi Sour and Old Fashioned cocktails were included in the green envelope.
Each bottle was individually wrapped in this adorable paper. This would make such a great gift alternative to a monthly wine subscription club!
Ron Zacapa Centenario 23 Aged Rum 50 mL (2 bottles)
Rhum Barbancourt – 50 mL (2 bottles)
Lime Perrier – 250 mL
Royal Rose Tamarind Simple Syrup – 2 oz
Angostura Bitters (2)
Verdict: Julibox was so fun for me to unwrap! I love all the thought and work that goes into the box and presentation. I wasn’t sure how to determine value since these are mini bottles, so I didn’t include prices. For me, the value is in trying out new cocktails and having everything I need delivered to my door!
I was so excited about this one, I decided to sign up regardless of whether I cancel PopSugar Must Have after this month. Little did I know that I can’t subscribe to Julibox because they don’t ship to my state! I’m pretty sure it’s due to interstate commerce laws for alcohol (I’ve come across this on other sites that sell/ship alcohol), but they are not at all upfront about which states they don’t ship to until you’ve already created a profile and are entering your shipping address for the subscription.
I’m so disappointed, I’ll have to make myself a cocktail!
this looks super cool, I gotta try this
This looks neat…seems a little costly for 4 drinks, but I suppose it would be fun to try something new that you would have never encountered otherwise! Speaking of wine subscriptions, have you seen/heard of Wine Awesomeness? They have a wine club called Club Awesomeness. It’s $40 a month, and you get 3 bottles of wine (that includes shipping), along with wine notes and recipe cards. I got my first month back in October with a deal I found on Daily Candy, and have been a member ever since. I signed up for the mixed club since I like white and red wine, and they also sometimes send sparkling wine/champagne, which I love! Wanted to let you know about it in case you are a wine drinker or know someone who is. I have found it’s a great value. Anyway, love reading your blog, it’s become one of my favorites over the last few months!
Thanks for the tip on Wine Awesomeness! I think I’m in love with any subscription service that has “Awesomeness” in the title! I’ll definitely check it out

This is such a good idea! If I’m disappointed by PopSugar Must Have again this month, I might have to switch over to Julibox!
