COCKTAILS

• • • Silver-Tequila Martini – If dad’s a cocktail guy, of course you’ll make him his favorite mixed drink. And if he’s up for something different than his “regular” drink, give this a try! Be sure to us a high-quality tequila such as Patron Silver for the first-class man in your life.
      Recipe

• • • Orange-Wheat Shandy – If beer is more your dads’ style, then maybe he’ll like a slight twist such as a beer cocktail? We use a traditional wheat beer that bursts with citrus flavor thanks to the addition  of freshly-squeezed orange juice.
