I have been given some beautiful empty liquor bottles. Besides recycling, what can I do with them?

Question

ie. GreyGoose, Patrone tequilia, etc.?

Answer 1

DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU KITCHEN IS SET UP AS FAR AS DECOR, AND IF YOU HAVE A KITCHEN SINK WINDOW PLACE A SHELF ACROSS THE WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE AND DISPLAY THEN AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN THE SUN LIGHT HITS THEN OR PLACE THEN IN THE WINDOW SEAL THANKS AND GOOD LUCK. CRYSTAL

Answer 2

The best use is to use them as a flask or flower pot, especially when they are not printed with brand names.

If they are printed with brand name like Grey Goose, as you mentioned,

use them to contain juices, sodas and other drinks.

It also depends on their shape, type and color to determine their use.

A colored and beautifully shaped bottle may be use as Wall Sconce or a candle stand.

These can also be used as Tall platters. Its an easy and inexpensive way to add height to a buffet table. Three liquor bottles and two wooden discs can be used to make this unique serving platter. The bottles are epoxied to the bottom wooden disc. Holes, slightly bigger then the bottle’s mouth are drilled into the underside of the top disc, this way, when the wood is placed on top, the bottles will be wedged into the wood.

If you have pretty bottles they can be  used to make pendant lights. The bottoms of the bottles are cut off with a table-top saw. A standard light kit is threaded through the bottle and washers are used inside the bottle to keep it from sliding off the cord.

You can use one of these bottles as Hummingbird Feeder if you take interest in that.

You may also use it as soap dispenser, depends on its shape and color.

Another use makes the used bottles as water carafe. Use these bottles to serve Soda or water with wine or liquors.

Answer 3

use some of them as vases, for a flower (just one or two..it looks cute), in different rooms

Answer 4

I don't know if where you live it is allowed but I buy  99% spirit (for liquors) then make my own liquors out of it, I add various herbs (I follow various monks' recipes LOL)  and I sometimes "pickle" white grapes in it it's great during those cold winter nights.

Answer 5

I read though all the other replies and no one mentioned the obvious. Drill a couple small holes in the bottom of your absolute favorite bottle and get a key ring and use it as a incense burner. I have done this a few times. Makes for a fun memory if you drank the liquor too!

Answer 6

hit bugelgrs over the head with them

Answer 7

Put in pebbles then a stick of bamboo and add water.

Answer 8

Fill them with M & M's and cork the tops.  Great gifts and colorfull.  OR buy the drink pours and use them for dish soap and hand soap dispensers.  

Answer 9

if they are really nice looking use them (after removing labels) for either flavored oils or flavored vinegars, then cork them and dip the corked ends is sealing wax -

they make awesome holiday and housewarming gifts.

Buy shopping craft shops you can find a diamond encrusted string used to cut the top of the bottle off, and make some very unique glasses.

Answer 16

Hi,

Remember to use energy saving bulbs in your new lamps!

Answer 18

wow, this is the environmental forum.  You could fill with water  (and a few drops of Clorox) and place where the Sunshine's.  They will adsorb energy and then release it back at night for free heat.

Answer 19

Put them on a a shelf or something so you can display them. Or put colorful flowers inside. :)

Answer 20

Go to a craft-type store and find tiny little colored beads to put in them. You can play with the colors and patterns and use the bottles to decorate your house by filling them with colors that work with the colors in the room. Think of them as custom colored vases.

You can also use larger beads, stones, etc. to get different patterns and shapes.

Answer 21

You can put flowers in them, or put them on display. If you do art, you can break them and make mosaics.

I like to put them on shelves (I do this with perfume bottles) to make it look like I collect something cool. heh.

Answer 22

Put them in a fish tank...or fill them with different color sand and use for decoration

Answer 23

Well, why not put up a high shelf above a window and display them there?  You can also use them as candle holders.. There are special candles that you can get for wine bottles that will fit and you can use them in the holes for the liquer bottles... Just be sure the bottles are on a flat surface so they don't tip!  

Answer 24

Refill them or fill them with colored water>
