This Father's Day, serve the Scotch and Chronos cocktail, perfect for dads who know two things: good Scotch is timeless, and parenting sometimes calls for a stiff drink.
Forget the golf accessories and "World’s Greatest Dad" mugs—this cocktail gets straight to the point. Built on the classic Negroni but upgraded for dads who prefer smoky sophistication, scotch provides the solid, barrel-aged backbone, much like Dad's steady presence over the years. Campari delivers a bitter kick -- like how it feels when your kid beats you at basketball for the first time. Cynar's herbal complexity adds a paradoxical but somehow satisfying note. It says: let's face it, you're no longer cool. And really, it's better that way.
And not to be overlooked is absinthe— where a little goes a long way. Aromatic, a bit eccentric, wholly original — sound like anyone's favorite father figure?
Named after Chronos, the Greek god of time, this drink is a playful nod to how fatherhood warps the clock: one day you’re teaching your kids how to ride a bike, and seemingly the next, you’re raising a glass together.
This one is for dads everywhere —because fatherhood might age you, but a great cocktail never gets old.
