Whatever you do, don’t pop-crastinate any longer.
Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18, and a papi-lar (see what we did there?) gift would be a little daddy dining. So, in no particular order, here’s an insider’s guide to restaurant specials in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Remember, the prices do not include taxes and gratuities. Also, keep checking back in with this post as we might add more to the list later on. And have a happy Pater-day …. no, we’re not giving up on trying to make that a thing.

- Ted Lasso: “The Only Way Ted Likes Tea” (because Lasso calls tea “garbage water”) — made with Monkey Shoulder whiskey, genmaicha tea syrup and Earl Grey bitters, and served with an English biscuit
- Homer Simpson: “My Only Vice” (since Simpson says, “Coffee is my only vice. Well, that and donuts. And beer. And … “) — made with Papa’s Pilar dark rum, maple syrup, Subculture Coffee and Dugan & Dame’s Morning Wood Cocktail Bitters, and served with a doughnut garnish
- Peter Griffin: “Shut Up, Meg” (from an episode where Griffin visited Mexico and had to drink well water to save Meg and the liquid was actually mezcal) — made with Montelobos Mezcal, Espolòn Reposado and orange bitters
- Minato Namikaze: “OYAJI” (Japanese word roughly meaning “Old Man,” as a tribute to the father from the “Naruto” anime series who sacrifices everything for his newborn son) — made with Toki whiskey, kokuto sugar and Aromatic Bitters
