Six Throwback Cocktails to Enjoy on Father’s Day

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.  

Amaretto Sour

This cocktail once graced the bartop regularly, but has since faded from such prominence. It’s still a favorite, though, with bourbon used in place of a sweet and sour mix below. 

  • .75 oz Joseph Magnus Bourbon
  • 1.5 oz amaretto liqueur
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon rich simple syrup
  • .5 ounce egg white
  • Lemon twist, 2 branded cherries, garnish 

 

Full recipe and instructions here.

The Tuxedo

This cocktail is for classy dads and represents the well-dressed flair that traditionalists seek. It has a bitter theme and coaxing aroma and is great for dads with discerning tastes.  

  • 1.5 oz Joseph Magnus Vigilant Distinct Dry Gin
  • 1.5 oz dry vermouth
  • 1 dash maraschino liqueur
  • 1 dash absinthe
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters

 

Full recipe and instructions here.

Hot Toddy

Some Father’s Day cocktails are better off the rocks. This cocktail was one of the first warm cocktails ever served and it still boasts a legion of staunch supporters today. 

  • 2 oz Joseph Magnus Murray Hill Club Bourbon 
  • .75 cup boiling water
  • 2-3 teaspoons honey
  • 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 lemon round
  • Cinnamon stick, garnish 

Full recipe and instructions here.

Negroni

This cocktail is often consumed as an apéritif (it has Italian origins) and would be great as a precursor to your Father’s Day meal. 

  • 1.5 oz Joseph A. Magnus Navy Strength Gin
  • 1.5 oz campari
  • 1.5 oz sweet vermouth
  • Orange peel to garnish 

 

Full recipe and instructions here.

Forbidden Sour

This cocktail is a great introduction to folks still learning to savor their whiskey. It has a sweet taste to start and richer taste to finish. If your dad has a growing appreciation for good bourbon, this is the cocktail craft. 

  • 1 oz Joseph Magnus Bourbon
  • 1 oz pomegranate liqueur
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • .5 oz simple syrup
  • Orange wheel and a cherry, garnish 

 

Full recipe and instructions here.

Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon

Sometimes less is more. And when it comes to our award-winning Cigar Blend Bourbon, this is certainly the case. This bourbon was crafted to pair with a fine cigar and nothing extra is required. 

  • 4 oz Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon
