WHO'S YOUR DADDY?
SOUR SIMPLICITY
We love cocktails that are creative with a mix of well-balanced, considered ingredients. The Violet Sour showcases simplicity over complexity. Highlights include gin, violette liqueur, lychee, and lemon with a hint of hibiscus extract. To enjoy one with 360-degree views, we suggest the Pink Lady Rooftop, which undoubtedly is one of the best spots in the city for an open-air drink. Bring on the sunshine, and bring on the Violet Sours!
SWEET N’ SMOOTH
Looking for a premium Kentucky bourbon for dad, infused with the sweetness and smoothness of New Zealand honey? Batch10 has a strong, up-front Bourbon flavour with a smooth, natural honey finish which is proving very popular. This Puhoi-based spirit brand recommends that your drink is best drunk neat and cold or with a cheeky splash of ginger beer. Try the Mānuka Smoked option for an alternative.
LIL’ BIDDY!
Reefton Distilling Co. and Swanndri have a lot in common; both are transforming raw elements of our environment into something wonderfully refined, with a dedication to enduring quality and down-to-earth Kiwi ambition. A bit like dad, really! Make him smile this Father’s Day. Little Biddy’s dry gin has notes of foraged watercress, snow moss, kahikatea tips, and toatoa – all delivering a soulful, aromatic experience.
BEOUF HEAD
Le Boeuf is Grater Good’s vegan answer to a French ‘beef’ burger. It’s stacked with two house-made beet patties, melted cheese, caramelised onions, aioli, lettuce, and topped off with pickles. As always, Grater Goods makes everything in house, and everything is plant-based. This beef burger is the perfect Father’s Day lunch – pair it with either a salad or fries on the side and a silky glass of delicious Bordeaux. Prendre plaisir!
