Father’s Day Celebrations: A Guide To Gifting Spirits To Your Old Man
Father’s day is on the horizon, and let’s be honest, dad probably has enough ties and tool kits to last him a lifetime. This year, shake things up with gifts that will build on his home bar, especially if the old man is a mixology enthusiast.
Here’s a rundown of top-notch alcohol-centric gifts that’ll make dad do a happy dance this father’s day!
Mixologist In A Box
Why not kick things off with a DIY cocktail kit? Toss in a sleek shaker, a few jiggers, a strainer and, a flask for spirits (bonus points for getting the containers engraved with something meaningful). Throw in a cocktail recipe book that’s easy to follow with recipes that are straightforward to concoct. It’s perfect for the dad who loves getting creative with mixology and doesn’t mind experimenting with different ingredients.
Glassware That’s All His
'Beware of Dad' or ‘World's Best Dad’ — these are just a few ideas of what can be engraved on dad’s customised cocktail ware this father’s day. Personalised glassware is a flattering gift indeed. Engrave dad's name, or better yet, a dad joke, onto some high-quality beer mugs, wine glasses or whisky tumblers.
A sip of a drink becomes more special when it’s from a glass that literally has his name on it.
Plus, it's a great way to ensure no one else nicks dad's glass at the next family gathering!
The Botanical Basket
Imagine a basket but make it elegant — stocked with all sorts of mixers, from artisanal tonics to botanicals and infusion kits, that could give more nuance to a simple gin and tonic. Throw in some eclectic garnishes like pink peppercorns, fresh rosemary sprigs or dried juniper berries to level-up dad’s cocktail game. Whether dad’s whipping up a batch cocktail for his friends or just enjoying a drink with intimate family, this basket will enable him to build more complexity into blends.
A Quality Spirit
For the serious connoisseurs out there, a limited edition bottle can be the crown jewel of the liquor cabinet. Track down a bottle that’s not only a limited run but also has an interesting backstory. The spirit will then carry an artistic value when it is stored in the home bar. Make sure to tell dad it’s for special occasions...
Brewmaster Kit
This one’s for the DIY dad who likes home-brewed beer. Throw in a subscription to a craft beer magazine or service so he can line-up weekends with brewing and tasting experiences.
This father’s day, make these gifts flavourful and thoughtful so that when dad is crafting a cocktail or making a brew or pouring a dram of a speciality whisky, it really builds into making memorable a special day marking the old man.
