Father’s Day 2024: Celebrity chef shares unique cocktail for the dad who enjoys a cold drink

The annual day of dads, Father's Day, is Sunday, June 16th this year — and many will enjoy a cocktail before or during dinner to celebrate.

Some families will choose to celebrate the man in their life by letting him call the shots for the day. 

Whether it’s getting in a round of golf, going fishing, taking a hike or relaxing on the couch and watching a game, Father’s Day is typically filled with all things dad-related. 

A FATHER'S DAY VINTAGE COCKTAIL TO HONOR DAD: TRY THE RECIPE

Florida-based celebrity chef Robert Irvine shared a cocktail recipe with Fox News Digital to make for the special occasion: a bittersweet memories drink. 

"What do you get a man who moves mountains for his children?" he told Fox News Digital via email. "There might be a million right ways to answer that question, but I think, ‘Get him a tie,’ is not one of them."

Chef Robert Irvine of Florida said that instead of giving dad a tie or some other clichéd gift, try a crisp, cool cocktail this Father's Day.  (Chef Robert Irvine)

He continued, "Why not get that man a spot in the shade and a stiff drink?"

Irvine, host of the Food Network’s "Restaurant: Impossible," shared a bourbon-based recipe that he said combines some really interesting ingredients.

"[It] combines the ‘manliest’ of liquors — bourbon — with aged rum, Vermouth and a blend of bitters for a mature, full-bodied drinking experience," he said.

Irvine suggested that the drink is an "ideal way to cap a long, hard day’s work or say thanks to the man who does it all in a way that he’ll enjoy."
