Fathers Day Gift Box

Curatif Father's Day Gift Box He doesn't need anything. But he wants this. There is, in the long and undistinguished history of the necktie, not a single recorded instance of a man being genuinely delighted to receive one. The novelty mug fares little better. And so we arrive, once again, at the annual ritual of trying to find something for the man who built the deck, fixed the car, and insists - every single year - that he doesn't need anything. He is, of course, lying. He wants a good drink, made well, without having to make it himself. This is where we come in. The Curatif Father's Day Gift Box pairs a proper SPIEGELAU Perfect Serve Old Fashioned rocks glass with four cocktails of genuine pedigree, each one canned at the moment of its perfection so that the only labor required of him is the lifting of a tab. Inside, he'll find a Negroni, that great Italian act of bittersweet defiance, built on equal parts conviction and Campari; a Rum Old Fashioned, dark, slow, and faintly nostalgic, the kind of drink that seems to have been invented specifically for sitting on a deck contemplating one's life choices; a Tommy's Margarita, brighter and sharper, named for a man who took a perfectly good drink and made it better by subtraction; and an Espresso Martini, that late-twentieth-century interloper which, against all odds and considerable critical resistance, earned its place at the bar. Each is presented in a gift box of either deep royal blue or rich burgundy, gold-stamped and entirely free of the apologetic cheapness that so often attends the gifting of liquor. Pour any one of them into the included Spiegelau rocks glass, and he will, for a few minutes at least, feel less like a man receiving a present and more like a man being properly looked after. Which, in the end, is really all he wanted. The trick, usually, is that easy and good are mutually exclusive. This is the exception.
