To me there's few better flavor combinations than a tart citrus and smoke. And this is the cocktail where I first discovered this combo. This is the Smoky Piña. Join the Cocktail Dad club at https://thecocktaildad.com // Smok...

For a lot of people when they hear mezcal they either don't know what it is or think it's too smokey. Which is fair, depending on which kind you try that can be true. But if you happen to be at a bar looking for a Mezcal cock...

I used to be embarrassed to order this drink but now that I've made it myself I'm much more open and it all stems from listening to my wife more. Join the Cocktail Dad club at https://thecocktaildad.com // Lemon Drop Martini ...

The phrase Bee's Knees sort of means the best, or something really good. And I think that's a great name for this, not only because it's a good cocktail, but because it includes honey syrup. So kind of a dad joke built right ...
