In honour of Father’s Day, I’m combining a few different inspirations, flavours and spirits that I think any Dad would love. You can skip on the gift this year, because I’m sure that he’ll love a personal mixologist for the day!
Something you have to know about my dad is…he doesn’t drink. Not much anyway. The odd beer would occur, and I mean MAYBE once a year, but alcohol was never really around the house. Now how did I get into mixology? Well that’s a story for another time.
Now some of my favourite memories with my dad was actually watching The Simpson. And that got me thinking about Homer, and Duff Beer. Since I love experimenting with Beer-tails (Beer+Cocktail), I thought this would be a fun way to combine both concepts into one!
I wanted this Father’s Day to be stress free, with a quick and easy recipe. Plus, it’s a cocktail concept that most people either know and/or love which is a WHISKY SOUR!
This cocktail combines one of my favourite Canadian Whisky’s in the market Signal Hill, an IPA Beer Reduction, with fresh lemon and egg whites. There’s a reason why everyone loves a Whisky Sour, and I’m dressing it up with that slight bitter, hops taste that will pleasantly surprise the masses.
