Father’s Day 2020 gift ideas

Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cake Company

For a gift recipient with a sweet tooth, Clarkson Avenue Crumb Cakes bakes fresh sweets using an old-fashioned family recipe from 1950s Brooklyn.  They come in a variety of flavors beyond the crowd-pleasing classic, including blueberry and salted caramel and more. They even have a gluten-free version. Full crumb cakes are available in 8×8 size and also come in a 12-pack of perfectly-portioned individual servings called Crumbkins. All of the cakes are made with natural ingredients, are preservative-free and are shipped directly to your door.

For June 2020, there is a limited-edition crumb cake for the month: a Cherry Almond Cake. This almond cake features with a chunky cherry preserve and an almond crumb topping and ships free all month.

Laconiko’s Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Laconiko is a boutique Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil company, based in Manassas, Virginia. Its Laconiko Ultra Premium 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil is reportedly the most internationally-awarded Greek olive oil-based in the U.S. and is regularly ranked among the world’s best olive oils each year. Great taste aside, you can expect healthy, pure, and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil from Laconiko.

The brand’s Black Truffle-infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil is currently available on Amazon, as priced at $27.95. It is recommended for steaks and burgers alike.

Omnom Chocolate

Omnom is Iceland’s first and only bean-to-bar chocolate maker. Its handmade, small-batch chocolate offerings include single-origin selections from Madagascar, Tanzania, Nicaragua, and Peru. Omnom chocolates are available on Amazon, while select flavors are also available online through Murray’s Cheese.

Beyond the buying physical goods themselves for the holiday, Omnom has a Father’s Day virtual chocolate tasting event scheduled for June 21, 2020. Its Omnom x Megan Giller event is set to happen online via Zoom at 4 p.m. EST. Its $50 tickets include 5 Omnom chocolate bars and an interactive tasting with Omnom founder Kjartan Gíslaso, and bean-to-bar chocolate author Megan Giller.

Eli Mason’s Kits & Mixers

Eli Mason makes The Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer. That’s it. Why the Old Fashioned, you ask? Well, in the words of Eli Mason: “Because it’s the best dang cocktail out there. It’s classic, timeless, boozy, and delicious.” Typical versions of The Old Fashioned combine whiskey, sugar, and bitters. A lot of recipes will include muddled fruit, and most are garnished with a citrus peel or a high-quality cherry. Eli Mason, instead, makes its Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer using premium, all-natural ingredients like real cane sugar and a proprietary blend of bitters, as made in small batches in Nashville, Tennessee.

With Eli Mason’s Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer, you can create a genuine Old Fashioned cocktail in less than 60 seconds. Just grab your favorite bottle of whiskey, mix, stir, and enjoy. The same great folks are also behind MADE SOUTH, the Southern Whiskey Society Good Southerner, and the Southerner Podcast.

Flaviar

Flaviar is a club for fine spirits enthusiasts. Launched in 2012 in Europe, the London-based company’s mission is to help everyday people build their dream home bar. Both an online-based and a real-world community, Flaviar currently ships to 35 states, offering free shipping. Participating brands include Glenfarclas, Patron, The Macallan, Lagavulin, Yamazaki, Bulleit Bourbon, Sipsmith, and Woodford Reserve. Membership is $20 monthly, as billed quarterly.

As covered in a recent round-up for Guilty Eats, WhistlePig Rye Whiskey recently announced WhistlePig HomeStock Whiskey, a whiskey blended together, while apart. The limited-edition whiskey was created via a virtual crowd blending experience in collaboration with Flaviar. WhistlePig will donate 20% of online sales via Flaviar & Caskers from HomeStock to the U.S. Bartenders’ Guild (USBG) Foundation’s Emergency Assistance Program, which provides COVID-19 Relief Grants to bartenders.

Also new and cool as related to cool spirits within the Flaviar realm, you can still get your hands on a special bottle of Garrison Brothers Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon, as handpicked by Flaviar team. But as of this article’s publishing, only a few bottles are currently left.
