Father’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to raise a glass to Dad than with a classic cocktail? Instead of another tie or tool set, why not mix him something that shows a little love, care, and a splash of creativity.
This year, we’re keeping it simple but sophisticated with a Whiskey Sour. It’s timeless, bold, and smooth—just like Dad.
What you’ll need :
- 60 ml good-quality whiskey (Dad deserves the good drop)
- 30 ml fresh lemon juice
- 15 ml sugar syrup (1:1 sugar and hot water, cooled)
- A dash of bitters (optional)
- Ice cubes
Method:
- Pop all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice.
- Shake hard for about 15 seconds until the shaker feels frosty.
- Strain into a short glass filled with ice.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon or an orange twist for a polished finish.
The result? A perfect balance of tart citrus, mellow sweetness, and warming whisky—an ideal Sunday sip with Dad.
So this Father’s Day, set aside the usual routine, pour something special, and raise a glass to the man who deserves it most.
