DEWAR’S has the Perfect Father’s Day Gift

What are you getting dad for Father’s Day this year? If you were thinking a good bottle of whiskey is just what the doctor ordered, DEWAR’S has an even better suggestion. To celebrate dads everywhere, DEWAR’S Scotch whisky and Freemans Sporting Club in NYC are teaming up for two gifts that will make it the most memorable Father’s Day yet. For the entire month of June, you can treat dad to an exclusive Scotch and a Shave or Scotch and a Suit.

DEWAR'S 12 YearFor $50, a Scotch and a Shave makes for a perfect bonding moment between you and dad. The package includes a good old fashioned straight razor shave at Freeman’s Barbershop with pre-shave oil, shaving cream, hot foam, aftershave and a hot eucalyptus towel. While you’re getting a smooth face, you’ll be sipping on DEWAR’S 12, a luxuriously rich, fruity and smooth blend with mellow, buttery notes.

If you really want to treat dad to something special, the Scotch and a Suit is the ultimate indulgence. For $1,600, dad can get fitted for a Freemans Sporting Club suit, featuring a classic two-button silhouette and trim, modern fit. While he’s getting custom tailoring, he’ll be sipping on DEWAR’S 18, a mellow libation with notes of butterscotch and almonds. The lingering and pleasantly dry finish is accompanied by DEWAR’S signature heather honey note, offering an extra level of distinction and refinement.

If you’re in the NYC area and want to give him something extra special for Father’s Day, we at The Manual can’t think of a better way to show dad you appreciate everything he’s done for you over the years. Even the manliest man needs a little pampering sometimes.

Chocolate-covered espresso beans: The ultimate combination of sweet and bitter
A coffee lover's perfect snack
chocolate espresso

Chocolate and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly or wine and cheese. It just makes sense. Despite these commonly known food pairings, many chocolate and coffee lovers have forgotten the ultimate snack: chocolate-covered espresso beans. Many of us get stuck in our food "hyper fixations," as I call them, where we tend to gravitate toward the same foods or snacks until they're replaced with a new option.

As it turns out, this snack is just as delicious as I remembered them. No matter how long it's been since you've snacked on them, consider this your reminder to fall in love with chocolate covered espresso beans all over again.

Bottomless portafilter vs. regular: Which one makes better espresso?
What makes each portafilter different?
espresso filter

One thing I love about brewing espresso is that it can be adjusted and adapted for any skill level. Whether you're a coffee nerd or a barista who wants to perfect every part of the brewing process, you can brew espresso. Regardless of your skill level, you need to learn about one of the most critical components of an espresso maker: the portafilter. You can't brew espresso without it -- unless you're using a capsule-style system like a Nespresso Veruto.

There are two types of portafilters that you can use with your espresso maker, yet neither is better than the other. Both the bottomless portafilter and a regular, spouted portafilter do the trick to brew delicious espresso. With this in mind, the winner of the bottomless portafilter vs. regular debate comes down to your preferences and how deeply invested you are in the art of brewing espresso. Here's what to know about each type of espresso filter.

Horses racing in the Kentucky Derby

When it comes to the Kentucky Derby, the spectacle isn’t just on the racetrack. The annual event is synonymous with Southern tradition, elegance, and indulgence, which makes it the perfect backdrop for a curated, high-end dining experience. Chef Robert Lopez, Senior Executive Chef at Levy Restaurants and Head Chef at Churchill Downs, has crafted a Derby-inspired menu that blends tradition with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients to capture the essence of this legendary horse racing event.

Lopez is known for his attention to detail and deep respect for classic Southern flavors, and he has carefully and thoughtfully selected dishes like the Bluegrass Fields Salad and drinks like the mint julep that evoke both comfort and refinement. You’re in for a treat, as we had the pleasure of speaking with the chef and picking his brain on how he selected these recipes for this year's menu. One of the most popular dishes that he has on there are the slow-cooked beef tips, and we were eager to learn not only how to make beef tips, but also how to do them the Kentucky Derby way.
