To the kind-hearted dad who makes me laugh all the time, the rockstar husband that always shows up for his girls, and the big brother who’s looked out for his baby sister since Day 1, thank you. Thank you for being such a light in my life, a great role model to my kids, and someone I can truly count on. This Father’s Day, I want to celebrate you.
We’ve all struggled to find Dad that perfect gift to give every single year when the holidays roll around, but here’s a secret – they don’t need (or want) any more shirts, ties, or socks. True story. What every Dad wants and really appreciates is a delicious home-cooked meal (preferably their favorite dish of course), great drinks, and quality time with their loved ones. That’s it. I know the concept seems almost too simple to be true, but it has yet to fail me.
This Father’s Day, I’m cooking my dad and husband their favorite meal – steak of course – and pairing it with these Classic Old Fashioned cocktails I whipped up in less than 5 minutes. As someone who isn’t a cocktail connoisseur, I’m so glad DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion Liqueur makes me look like a pro! Since my brother can’t physically be with us this Father’s Day, we’re sending him a virtual “cheers” to celebrate his 2nd year of being a dad.
This Old Fashioned cocktail was SO easy to make and turned out perfect. That’s because DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion Liqueur provides exceptional, quality ingredients and a hassle-free solution for making delicious cocktails in the comfort of your own home. The liqueur is a wonderful combination of tart citrus, bitter notes and a touch of sweetness with hints of orange and spice.
And because Dads are going to love it so much, getting him all the ingredients to make his own would be such a great idea. All you need is a bottle of DeKuyper Classic Ol’ Fashion Liqueur and his favorite bottle of Bourbon. We love Jim Bean Black Bourbon for this cocktail.
Here’s the easy 2-step recipe:
- 1 part DeKuyper® Classic Ol’ Fashion Liqueur
- 2 parts bourbon
- Serve over ice and garnish with an orange peel
The new, 30 proof product is available in stores nationwide and online through Drizly and Reserve Bar with a suggested retail price of $12.99 per 750 ml bottle. For more tips on this two-step cocktail tutorial, check out DeKuyper bartender Amy Probasco.
Cheers to all the wonderful Dads and Father figures out there! You make the world a better place.
