It is so close we can almost feel it. It is Father’s Day and so worth celebrating. We raise a toast to all the wonderful dads out there that care, educate, laugh and play with their children (young or old). They deserve a special care this day although; their role should be celebrated, always.
Because of this, we have made a selection of eight different cocktails that you should make in this special day. And guess what? It sure has whiskey included.
