Happy hour Quench your thirst in style with Rolls-Royce’s limited-edition cocktail hamper. Meticulously handcrafted from American walnut wood and natural grain leather, the hamper takes eight weeks to make, and only 15 have been created. Rolls-Royce partnered with experts from Dorchester Collection’s London hotels to ensure the hamper contains everything you need to create the perfect cocktail, including two decanters and platinum-rimmed tumblers from Theresienthal (which ordinarily blows glass for Europe’s royal courts). All utensils are bespoke and handmade from the finest materials, allowing for effortless mixing. Once suitably refreshed, you can serve canapés on the two dishes from the lower section, where discreet drawers house fine cotton napkins and recipe cards. An automatic light illuminates the hamper with a warm glow designed to mimic the aesthetic of an upscale cocktail bar. $46,000, rolls-roycemotorcars.com
