Martini Gran Lusso
Price: $30.00
Website: martini.com
This special limited-edition sweet vermouth was released by Martini to celebrate their 150th birthday. Subtly sweet, full-bodied and rich, "Gran Lusso" is Italian for "grand luxury," making it most appropriate for ballin' out on Father's Day.
Campari
Price: $28.00
Website: campari.com
Red Italian bitters Campari is complex and super versatile, adding a rich herbal depth to whichever drink it's added to, particularly Negronis. You only need a dash in most drinks, so cop a bottle for Dad to keep his liquor cabinet adaptable.
Cayrum Rum
Price: $27.99
Website: cayrum.com
Island-blended in the Dominican Republic, this ginger-infused rum is a great addition to Manhattans and margaritas alike. The label itself is owned by a father-son team, making it even more perfect for Father's Day. Do some cool It's Always Sunny-inspired father-son bonding and make a DIY Rum Ham if you're feeling Pinterest-y.
Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition
Price: $29.99
Website: cutty-sark.com
Cutty Sark, whiskey of choice for the gangsters in Goodfellas, drinks easy and won't break the bank. The Prohibition Edition's opaque black bottle and cork stopper are a nod to the brand's history of being smuggled into U.S. speakeasies in the 1920s. It's lighter on the palate, with a mellow vanilla finish.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum
Price:$28.99
Website: sailorjerry.com
Goes down so smooth you might have to restrain Pops from shitting on his nemesis neighbor's lawn after a few. This cinnamon and nutmeg-spiced rum is reasonably priced and mixes well, especially with Coke. The sailor-kitsch pinup labels are great for dads that like aesthetically pleasing bottles, too.
Reyka Vodka
Price: $26.99
Website: reyka.com
Shoutout to Iceland for making a vodka so fresh and so clean, clean. Reyka is produced with arctic spring water that's naturally filtered through lava rock fields, then distilled in small, carefully tended batches. The intentional lack of mineral filtering lends to a subtle peppery aftertaste. Great for Greenpeace and gluten-free dads.
Hendrick's Gin
Price: $43.99
Website: hendricksgin.com
Hendrick's is a fresh and citrusy Scottish gin infused with a unique mix of rose and cucumber, in addition to the usual juniper botanicals. If Pops is a classic gin and tonic kind of guy, serve this garnished with a cucumber slice in lieu of a lime wedge and he'll love you for at least another year.
Milagro Reposado
Price: $54.99
Website: milagrotequila.com
Don't be dissuaded by the somewhat gimmicky label—this 100% Blue Agave tequila finishes clean and velvety. Native to Jalisco, Mexico in the heart of tequila county, Milagro's blue agave is roasted in traditional brick ovens and aged in oak barrels for a mellowed taste. Mix it in with orange juice and a dash of cherry grenadine for a bomb-ass tequila sunrise Dad will love.
Maestro Dobel Tequila
Price: $49.99
Website: sherry-lehmann.com
The first ever multi-aged clear tequila, Maestro Dobel is a blend of añejo, reposado, and extra-añejo tequilas. The resulting taste is a balance of citrus notes and limestone minerality that merge for a sweet, subdued finish. A classic tequila for classy dads with a more refined palate.
Tullamore Dew
Price: $39.99
Website: tullamoredew.com
Triple-distilled and smooth as silk, this Irish blended whiskey is perfect for dads with Don Draper-esque brooding tendencies. Pops can drink it straight, or keep it on deck in the liquor cabinet for effortless blending.
