Dads, step-dads and even mentors, if you’re celebrating Father’s Day this weekend, enjoy a little time for yourself to wrap up the day! Our friends at 1800 Tequila came up with some marvelous chilled cocktail recipes to wind down with. Or if you’d like to gift a dad you know, try 1800 Tequila’s new line of “essential” artistic bottles!
For now, get out your shakers and try the Proud Papa, Straight Up and The Saint.
