Father’s Day With Spirited Celebrations: A Guide To Boozy Gifting For 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'll tickle his taste buds and maybe even elevate his bartender creds in his social circle—or even within the family!
Here’s a rundown of top-notch alcohol-centric gifts that’ll make dad do a happy boozy 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, oh, a flask for those spirits on the go (bonus points for getting the flask engraved with something meaningful). And because we don’t want dad mixing blind, throw in a cocktail recipe book that’s easy to follow and even easier to concoct. It’s perfect for the dad who loves getting creative with mixology and doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. If you gift him this, we promise he’ll love you almost as much as he loves a good drink.
Glassware That’s All His
Beware of dad or ‘I’ve earned this’—these are just a few ideas of what you can get engraved on your dad’s customised cocktailware this father’s day. Trust us, personalised glassware is the key to his heart. Engrave his name, or better yet, a dad joke, onto some high-quality beer mugs, wine glasses or whisky tumblers.
Every sip becomes a little more special when it’s from a glass that literally has your name on it.
Plus, it's a great way to ensure no one else nicks his glass at the next family gathering!
The Botanical Basket
Imagine a basket but make it bougie—stocked with all sorts of mixers, from artisanal tonics to exotic botanicals and infusion kits, that could make a gin and tonic blush with envy. Throw in some eclectic garnishes like pink peppercorns, fresh rosemary sprigs or dried juniper berries to elevate dad’s cocktail game. Whether dad’s whipping up a storm for his friends or just enjoying a quiet drink by himself, this basket of magic will seriously up his street cred.
A Spirit Worth Bragging About
For the serious collectors out there, a limited edition bottle of something strong and spirited can be the crown jewel of dad’s liquor cabinet. Hunt down a bottle that’s not only a limited run but also has a backstory as rich as its flavour. It’s less of a drink and more of a mantlepiece, really. Just make sure to tell dad it’s for special occasions...like every time he successfully fixes something without a YouTube tutorial.
Brewmaster Kit
This one’s for the DIY dad who’s also a bit of a beer geek. How about a home beer brewing kit? Throw in a subscription to a craft beer magazine or service and you’ve just supplied him with endless weekends of brewing and tasting. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, literally, especially if you’re always around to help ‘taste test’.
This father’s day, let’s make sure the gifts are as fun and flavourful as the stories dad tells. Whether he’s crafting the perfect cocktail, enjoying a brew he made himself or pouring a dram of something truly special (into something truly special) these gifts are about celebrating dad in the most spirited way possible. Because let’s be honest—dad deserves it all!
