Sip a cocktail without breaking the glass

Bourbon and whiskey have seen a spike in popularity. A cold beer on the patio has been replaced with an old fashioned or a Manhattan. But, should dad bring mom’s good crystal outside? Save dad from a catastrophe. Govino whiskey glasses are perfect for outdoor drinking occasions.

Made from Tritan, the Govino whiskey glasses are perfect for his favorite whiskey, bourbon or craft cocktail. The 14-ounce glass fits the larger ice cubes and enhances the aromas of the liquor. With the company’s signature thumb notch, the glass fits comfortably in the hand. Since the glass is shatterproof, dad won’t have to worry about breakage while enjoying a quiet cocktail outside.

The Govino whiskey glasses are sold in a set of four. The set retails for approximately $18 at various retailers and online.

Add some spice to his life

For some dads, spice is the flavor of life. Of course, spices that make his eyes water may be a little too much heat. But, a strong, flavorful spice can make a huge difference in a meal. Mrs. G’s Handcrafted Pepper Jelly adds some sweet spice kick to recipes.

Mrs. G’s Handcrafted Pepper Jelly can be used in many ways. While some people eat the pepper jelly out of the jar, on top of crackers or with cream cheese, these pepper jellies are delightful when used in a recipe. The four flavors, Ja-Ha, Jalapeno Garlic Lime, Mango Ginger Habanero, and Peach Habanero, can work in so many recipes. From a marinade to a sauce flavor boost, Mrs. G’s adds the heat.

Mrs. G’s Pepper Jellies are available on Amazon. A 10 ounce jar is approximately $10.
