Happy Father’s Day, dads! The 6 Father’s Day cocktails we’ve curated below are a blast from the past, but they’d still make Joseph Magnus, a father of four, proud. Please enjoy them — and your special day — this weekend.

1 teaspoon rich simple syrup
.5 ounce egg white
Lemon twist, 2 branded cherries to garnish
