Celebrate Father’s Day by eating and drinking … with Dad, of course!
Here are some recommendations for food and drink to help you say, “Thanks for being my Dad!” After all, he doesn’t need another tie or coffee mug.
Cocktails
Manhattan (garnish with easy homemade cocktail cherries) or Martini ~ Traditional, strong and the best! If that sounds like your father, one of these may be the drink to make.
Blood & Sand ~ Scotch with OJ, vermouth and Cherry Heering … sounds like a disaster until you taste it and realize it’s genius.
Backyard Barbecue Michelada ~ Fancy up that beer and enjoy the weather with this beer cocktail by Jim Meehan of PDT.
The Happy Dad ~ Mix him a creative yet simple mixed drink and let him relax.
Food
Easy homemade BBQ sauce ~ What to make? Anything barbecue! No matter what it is, grill it up with this easy-to-make yet tasty sauce. I eat it all the time, so consider it vouched for!
BBQ ribs with root beer sauce ~ Let the grill do the work while you and Dad talk over drinks.
Grilled corn with sour cream and cotija ~ Is corn a vegetable? A healthy one? Yes, I think. Good enough, so grill it up.
Homemade Shake Shack burger ~ New Yorkers will appreciate the need for a specifically Shake Shake Burger … so make it at home.
Jambalaya ~ This is my Dad’s favorite dish, so I’ll probably be making this. Spicy, meaty, easy to shovel in your face … check, check and check.
