Father’s Day is coming up, and to celebrate, your dad probably just wants you to laugh at his jokes (and maybe a good tee time). But dads deserve more fanfare than that! Enter: A Father’s Day brunch with Bloody Marys and a curated menu. Want our recommendations for a dad-approved Father’s Day brunch? You’re in luck!
The menu
If you’re on the brunch side of the day, the elevated classics are always a hit: crème brûlée French toast, lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes, make-your-own omelets, bacon, sausage—the works. Dads and grills go hand in hand, so if you’re closer to the “linner” side of the day, it’s only fitting to incorporate a grill-heavy menu into your Father’s Day celebration. Just hand Dad the tongs and let the master do his thing. For the most tender meat on your plates, use Demitri’s Bloody Mary Seasonings as a marinade or in sauces and dressings. Chicken, steak, fajitas, Caesar salad, spicy aioli… the options are endless.
Don't forget about our Pepperoni Straws. What Dad doesn't love meat??!!
The drinks
Whatever time you’re celebrating is a great time for a Bloody Mary bar. Mimosas are well and good, but dads deserve something a bit heartier: like a loaded Bloody piled high with all the garnish. Go bold with Chipotle Habanero or zesty with Extra Horseradish—and don’t forget the Bacon Rimshot Rim Salt to top it all off. If your dad loves beer, whip up a michelada with beer in place of vodka.

A Bloody Mary bar is an easy choice for big group gatherings because everyone can design their own. More spicy, less spicy, without alcohol, more lemon, you get the idea. Setting one up is easier than you think. Get your tomato juice, the best and easiest Bloody Mary Seasonings, spirits (vodka is standard, but guests may enjoy gin for a Red Snapper or tequila for a Bloody Maria), and lots and lots of garnish options. Find classic and unique options to amp up your Bloodys here.
