What are you drinking this Father's Day?

All this indoor time has made us a lot more resourceful and creative in the kitchen and the bar. But since cocktail culture took a big hit with gastro clubs closing their doors amid the Covid-19 crisis, millennials have been taking it upon themselves to re-create their go-to cocktails at home. While bar syrups like Grenadine or flavoured vermouths may have been particularly hard to source amid the lockdown, there are certain easy cocktails which can be made using pantry ingredients. 

Interestingly, many young drinkers are making their own syrups and purees for their cocktails, and this summer they are leaning towards hassle-free, fruity flavours which are easy to re-create without professional help or even without a shopping trip. If you plan to share a homemade cocktail with your dad this Father’s Day, you should focus on tropical, refreshing picks which can act as a great pick-me-up and are also repeatable. 

We got mixologists Saikat Dey (Kolkata-based pub and brewery Motor Works & Brewing Company) and Anirban Sarkar (Hyatt Regency Delhi) and Amitava Chandra, the General Manager of Kolkata gastropub The Brewhive to share some summer-friendly recipes of great cocktails which you can create in your own bar. Interestingly, these cocktails have a focus on citrusy tropical flavours and herb-based bitters which are ideal because they are really refreshing.

You’ll also notice that all of the ingredients used in the recipes are readily available in your kitchen or can be made from scratch in your home, be it fresh pineapple juice or simple sugar syrup. Here are three DIY-friendly cocktails which you can share with your dad this Father’s Day:
