Description
For the Manly Man
Father's Day is just around the corner (Sunday the 18th) and it's time to give Dad the royal treatment. Take him out for a round of golf or a day fishing on the lake followed by a relaxing steak dinner and a stiff drink. Unless your father has a favorite cocktail that will never dissapoint him, you may be trying to think of a great MANLY drink that you can serve him. When most of us think of masculine spirits we tend to think of the darker whiskies and brandies, and while a Scotch on the rocks or whiskey and Coke will do the trick, there are many great cocktails that both fill the need for the men of our lives and are still enjoyable in the heat of the season. A Rusty Nail, Rob Roy and Sazerac are great whiskey cocktails for this time of year while a Sidecar, B&B and Metropolitan will fit the brandy lover's tastes. And of course, you can never go wrong with a good, old-fashioned Martini after a day on the links.
The Real Gibson Story
Here's the common story of how the Martini came to be garnished with a cocktail onion and thus known as a Gibson...
Sometime in the 1930's a magazine illustrator named Charles Dana Gibson asked Charlie Conolly at New York's Players Club to make "something different" so Conolly used a cocktail onion to garnish a Martini and the resulting drink has come to be known as a Gibson.
