Each year the list of Father’s Day offerings gets more and more creative. After a Mother’s Day full of diverse ways to celebrate Mum, Father’s Day 2020 pulls out all the stops with festivities that go beyond the usual whisky and steak stereotypes (or that seriously elevate these classics).

These are our top ways to celebrate good old dad this year:

Meraki at Home cocktails

Meraki at Home Hong Kong

Speaking of fancy whisky, Meraki Hospitality makes mixology easy with a range of at at-home cocktails ($140/2). With easy-to-follow instructions, these creative cocktails come pre-mixed with gorgeous garnishes to enjoy with Dad at home. There are five cocktails to choose from, and while not all contain whisky, the Penicillin (whisky, honey and ginger cordial and mezcal) and Batabasu (butter-washed bourbon, coffee sake, cassia bark syrup and bitters) do sound particularly appealing. Mocktails ($100/2) are also available.

Gentlemen’s afternoon tea at Captain’s Bar

Captain’s Bar Hong Kong

Who says afternoon tea is just for the gals? The always enchanting Captain’s Bar at the Mandarin Oriental presents what is possibly the most distinguished, manly afternoon tea we’ve ever seen, available Monday to Saturday throughout the month of June. The gentlemen’s afternoon tea ($338/person) features favourites like lamb samosas, Scotch eggs and sausage rolls, along with a chocolate cigar (complete with ashtray) and whisky cake. Dads will also get to knock back a chilled Captain’s Bar draught beer in the hotel’s famed silver tankard.

Prime rib brunch at Henry

Henry Hong Kong

It certainly wouldn’t be a Father’s Day list without a few meaty treats. Chef Nate Green of Henry at the Rosewood is the undisputed meaty master, and he’s designed a mouth-watering feast for Father’s Day. The Father’s Day prime rib brunch ($998/adult; $450/child aged 6–12) features Fine de Claire oysters paired with bourbon mignonette sauce to start and mains of Brandt USDA prime rib, premium rotisserie chicken, Snake River Farms’ pork belly and roast leg of Elysian Fields lamb. If that’s still not meaty enough, dads will get to take home a pack of Henry’s home-cured bacon for those post-brunch hunger pangs.
