DEWAR’S has the Perfect Father’s Day Gift

What are you getting dad for Father’s Day this year? If you were thinking a good bottle of whiskey is just what the doctor ordered, DEWAR’S has an even better suggestion. To celebrate dads everywhere, DEWAR’S Scotch whisky and Freemans Sporting Club in NYC are teaming up for two gifts that will make it the most memorable Father’s Day yet. For the entire month of June, you can treat dad to an exclusive Scotch and a Shave or Scotch and a Suit.

DEWAR'S 12 YearFor $50, a Scotch and a Shave makes for a perfect bonding moment between you and dad. The package includes a good old fashioned straight razor shave at Freeman’s Barbershop with pre-shave oil, shaving cream, hot foam, aftershave and a hot eucalyptus towel. While you’re getting a smooth face, you’ll be sipping on DEWAR’S 12, a luxuriously rich, fruity and smooth blend with mellow, buttery notes.

If you really want to treat dad to something special, the Scotch and a Suit is the ultimate indulgence. For $1,600, dad can get fitted for a Freemans Sporting Club suit, featuring a classic two-button silhouette and trim, modern fit. While he’s getting custom tailoring, he’ll be sipping on DEWAR’S 18, a mellow libation with notes of butterscotch and almonds. The lingering and pleasantly dry finish is accompanied by DEWAR’S signature heather honey note, offering an extra level of distinction and refinement.

If you’re in the NYC area and want to give him something extra special for Father’s Day, we at The Manual can’t think of a better way to show dad you appreciate everything he’s done for you over the years. Even the manliest man needs a little pampering sometimes.

Add some sparkle to your party with the glittering Goldfish Cocktail
Combine Goldwasser gold leaf liqueur with Cointreau, gin, and lemon juice for a delicious and celebratory drink
Goldfish Cocktail

When it comes to celebration drinks, we tend to go straight to one ingredient: Champagne. And while Champagne cocktails can indeed be delicious, they aren't the only way to celebrate. You can also find a variety of liqueurs which have a celebratory feeling, like Goldwasser, which is a herbal liqueur that has flakes of gold leaf floating in it. Don't worry -- the golf leaf is safe to consume -- but it does add a fun touch of sparkle to a drink.

The tricky part is finding a way to make a drink that still tastes great as well as looking good. This recipe, for a drink called a Goldfish, balances the herbal flavors of the Goldwasser with the robust orange peel flavor of Cointreau, and adds gin and lemon to give more botanical notes and citrus zing.

How to make a Bee’s Knees cocktail, a drink that fits its name perfectly
You can create a buzz with the honey-kissed cocktail
Bee's Knees with garnish

Many of the drinks that are still beloved in bars today are cocktails from the Prohibition Era, when bars went underground and got creative with the ingredients they had available to make drinks that were tasty and innovative. That was a challenge when many of the spirits available were of dubious quality at best, but it created delicious combinations like the Bee's Knees cocktail, an easy-to-enjoy gin classic.

Now, the mix of citrus and honey sweetness acts as a good introduction for people who have only previously said, "I don't like gin." (If you are one of those people, we'd like to take this opportunity to convince you otherwise ... we're not in bathtub gin territory anymore.) The floral and citrus notes in the gin blend with the other ingredients for an easy-to-drink cocktail that now allows the craft gin to come through without being hidden away.
