With Father’s Day fast approaching, it’s time we all started thinking about how best to celebrate the dads and father figures who have had such a crucial hand in raising us. And this year, in a bid to encourage a move away from the traditional but tired ‘socks-and-undies’ gift, we have teamed up with Schweppes 1783 to create the perfect cocktail for thanking dad with a well-deserved toast.

Meet the Green Jacket — a refreshing, not-too-sweet combination of Malfy Gin, Lillet Blanc, Green Chartreuse, lime and (of course) Schweppes 1783 Quenching Cucumber Tonic Water. Putting a more citrusy twist on the classic G&T, this cocktail is delicious and super easy to make but just complex enough to leave anyone who takes a sip thoroughly impressed (even if you really have no mixology skills to speak of). Here’s how to create the Green Jacket for Dad this Father’s Day.

Ingredients (makes one cocktail):
20ml Malfy Original Gin
15ml Green Chartreuse
20ml lime juice
20ml Lillet Blanc
Schweppes 1783 Quenching Cucumber Tonic Water
Dehydrated lime wheel to garnish

Method:
1. Start by pouring the Malfy Gin into a cocktail shaker.
2. Add the Green Chartreuse, followed by the Lillet Blanc.
3. Finish with lime juice before filling the cocktail shaker with ice.
4. Give the whole thing a good shake.
5. Prepare a glass with ice before pouring the mixture over.
6. Top off with Schweppes 1783 Quenching Cucumber Tonic Water.
7. Garnish with a wheel of dehydrated lime before serving.

Please drink responsibly.
