Five Drinks to Serve Dad This Father’s Day

Mark Anthony & SHARP

Pour one out for your pop this Father’s Day. Whether he likes his drinks straight-up, delights in a classic cocktail, or is in the mood for something fun and fruity, we have a recipe he’s sure to love. After all, he made you — it’s only fair you make him a drink, right? 

Glendalough: New Old Fashion

Glendalough New Old Fashion 1 Shot Glendalough Double Barrel Whiskey Angostura Bitters Soda Sugar cube Lemon rind Cherry Method Pull out a sugar cube and douse it with angostura bitters, then muddle the mixture with a shot of Glendalough Double Barrel. Add ice and top with as much soda as you’d like. Garnish with a lemon rind and cherry.

Is your old man the life and soul of the party? If so, he’s sure to love this sparkling riff on a classic Old Fashioned, made with delicious Irish Glendalough Double Barrel whisky. Matured in a flame charred ex-bourbon barrel of American oak and finished in an Oloroso sherry cask from the small Spanish town of Montilla, this smooth and subtly-sweet spirit plays perfectly in a high-end mixed drink.  With a little effervescence, this cocktail is a great way to kick-off a soiree. If you’re hosting a gathering in your dad’s honour, consider this your ‘welcome’ serve.

Bearface: The Wild Manhattan

Bearface The Wild Manhattan 1.5oz BEARFACE Whisky 0.75oz sweet vermouth 0.25oz Fernet Branca 0.25oz sugar syrup Orange peel for the twist Cherry for garnish Pour each ingredient into a mixing glass, then fill the glass with ice and stir. Strain the drink into a chilled coupe or martini glass, add a twist of orange, and garnish with a cherry.

Is your dad somewhat of a distinguished gentleman? There is nothing finer than a well crafted Manhattan, and he’ll love this twist with Canada-made Bearface whisky and a little fernet for extra vegetal depth. If you’re hosting a dinner party in dad’s honour, this would make the perfect digestif.

The Dalmore: Cigar Malt

The Dalmore Cigar Malt On the Rocks An exquisite companion to fine cigars, the Highland Single Malt is matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, Cabernet Sauvignon barriques, and Matusalem Oloroso Sherry Casks. Sip and savour.

Is your dad the type to enjoy a night cap by the fire? Is he happiest with a rare Scotch in one hand and a cigar in the other? The Dalmore Cigar Malt is the ultimate Father’s Day gift, and — if you’re lucky — he might pour you a glass too.  Making the perfect accompaniment to fine cigars, this exquisite Highland single malt is matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, cabernet sauvignon barriques and Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks.

Amaro Montenegro: Monte Paloma

Then, pour the first four ingredients and stir them together. Top it off with soda water.

Paloma for Pa? Ideal for BBQs and other alfresco get-togethers, this rich Paloma twist adds a splash of Italian finesse to the otherwise traditional Mexican cocktail. Bologna’s beloved Amaro Montenegro is made from a secret blend of 40 botanicals (including vanilla and orange peel), adding depth and complexity to mixed drinks.

Tequila Tromba: Classic Margarita

Tromba Classic Margarita 2 oz Tequila Tromba Blanco 1 oz Tablespoon coarse salt 1 oz Cointreau 0.5 oz Lime juice Combine tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake until thoroughly chilled (about 15 seconds — the bottom of a metal shaker should frost over). Then, pour fresh ice into your serving glasses and strain the margarita into both. Garnish with lime wheels and serve. (edited)

Nothing says ‘vacation in a glass’ like a classic margarita! If your dad is a ‘fun in the sun’ type of guy, this tart-and-tangy pour of liquid joy will be an excellent accompaniment to his day. From the mountains of Los Altos direct to your glass. If you’re planning a pool party for pa, you’d be remiss not to punctuate the fun with a premium crafted ‘Tromba margarita or two.

We think we have you suitably covered for drinks, so let’s make a toast to all the dads and father-figures in our lives.
