There’s a perfect drink for every dad. And while we know that a good cocktail is a great Father’s Day gift idea, it can be a challenge to find that drink that you know he’ll love.

Or does he simply want a bottle of good Scotch that he can pour into a rock glass and take neat or on the rocks? If you're stumped, don't worry, we got you. Here’s our ten great drink ideas for Father’s Day, presented in the gallery below.
