Sweet and Spicy Sips

No summer barbecue is complete without refreshing drinks on the menu. Ditch regular lemonade for a Blackberry Mango Lemonade, or cool down with a kick of heat and this Spicy Agave Ranch Water. For dads who love bourbon, treat their taste buds to a Hot Honey Gold Rush or a Smoked Honey Bourbon Lemonade, which gets its delicious smoky flavor from Hickory Smoke Syrup. Whether you’re in the mood for mocktails or cocktails, these drinks are fit for the best dad around.

Main Event and Sides

Make your dad's favorites with a deliciously bold and spicy twist! You can’t go wrong Hot Honey Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts or Bacon Wrapped Raspberry Jalapeño Poppers. If wings are on the menu, toss them in Mango Habanero Wing Sauce or Spicy Passion Fruit Wing Sauce for a tropical take on Buffalo sauce. If spicy isn’t your scene, fruit purées are a delicious way to add fresh summer flavors to any entrée. Skip the burgers and try these savory and sweet Grilled Peach Teriyaki Shrimp Skewers or serve a side of Peach BBQ Baked Beans. Both recipes are infused with the sweet, juicy flavor of Monin Peach Purée.

Add a Kick to Condiments

Slide the plain old ketchup and mustard to the side. We're adding Pineapple Chipotle Ketchup to Dad’s menu, as well as this Cilantro-Coconut Pesto made with fresh cilantro and Coconut Syrup. Whether he's grilling up burgers or dipping fries, these unique condiments will take his Father's Day feast to the next level. For a burst of savory flavor, consider adding Sweet and Spicy Pickles to the table. If you love sweet and tart burger toppings, these Hibiscus Pickled Onions will surely be a hit. Whatever you choose to make, planning a thoughtful menu filled with flavor will leave Dad feeling extra loved this Father’s Day.
