5 Tequila Gift Ideas for Dad
During this time of the year, you might find yourself hastily scrolling through endless “Gift Guides for Dad” but feeling slightly uninspired. You’ve already gifted the custom dog socks, bold patterned ties, memory foam slippers, and latest electronic gadgets. Oh, how the monotony ensues. Let’s face it, buying dad a thoughtful gift might be the most complicated task we face, but it doesn’t need to be taxing at all — especially if he’s keen on drinking quality booze (specifically tequila).
Here at CaliFino, we make gifting for dad so easy, you won’t have to waste another second fretting over this topic. Here are five tequila gift ideas we guarantee dad will adore this holiday season:
Custom Engraving w/ Gift Box
It’s a given that ALL dads love our Extra Añejo tequila made with 100% Ultra-Premium Blue Weber Agave and aged for a minimum of seven years in an American White Oak Barrel. It’s as smooth as it gets with layers of oak, caramel and a light hint of chocolate. For a limited time only, our on-staff seasoned calligrapher will custom engrave each box with a personalized message!
“This premium barrel-aged tequila is a great change up from the overplayed whiskey scene,” said CaliFino gift recipient and father, Sebastian Rovira. “The first thing I noticed was the personalized inscription on the box. It's definitely what I look forward to drinking every Friday at 4:30pm to wind down the week and kickstart the weekend!”
For a limited time only, you can snag this Custom Gift Box for 15% off with code Cali15 at checkout. This code works for all CaliFino expressions and includes FREE Shipping on all orders over $75!
2. CaliFino Sipping Gift Set -- One Añejo & One Extra Añejo w/ Two Shot Glasses
Sipping Gift Set
This gift set is literally every tequila lover’s dream. Dad will get to indulge in two of our best-selling expressions: Extra Añejo AND Añejo (plus two shot glasses). The Añejo is aged up to 36 months in American Oak Barrels, emanating a silky, slightly toasted barrel scent with hints of baked agave and toasted almond. Our Añejo won ‘The Best Tequila’ in 2020 by the New York International Spirits Competition.
“These are probably the best looking (and tasting) bottles of fine tequila I have on my shelf,” said CaliFino gift recipient and dad, Carlos Vasquez. “I’m always sipping on Añejo when it’s time to smooth out the edges from a busy week — as a father always on the go, this is honestly the best gift I could ask for.”
Rest assured, Añejo, in tandem with Extra Añejo, will add the perfect amount of variety to dad’s tequila stash this holiday season. While it’s in stock, grab this incredible duo for 15% off with code Cali15.
Snifter Glass
If you’re really looking to jazz up any of the CaliFino tequila gift sets, we’re positive any dad will appreciate a fancy snifter glass to accompany a smooth Fino pour. Also just in general, using proper glassware for tequila tastings is critical to unleash its truest origin notes. A snifter is always a safe bet too — essentially it’s a short-stemmed glass with a wider bottom and more narrow top (typically easy to hold and great for swirling purposes). If you’re buying dad Añejo, and/or Extra Añejo, we recommend buying a larger snifter for the most aromatic, sensorial experience.
Round Ice Cube Tray
Rule of thumb: ALWAYS use fresh ice when drinking tequila and yes, contrary to common belief, the size of the ice cube matters. Smaller ice cubes will melt faster and rapidly dilute your tequila. Larger ice cubes always do the trick. Just remember, more surface space yields a slower melt every time. So with that said, make sure dad doesn’t spoil his tequila with improper ice and ensure he has a tray readily available in the freezer.
Fun fact: Never use cold water when filling an ice tray. Distilled and boiled water is best — the ice will freeze more slowly, leaving you with impeccably clear ice cubes!
Tequila Shooter Set
It’s always ideal to have a tequila shooter set handy, especially for dad’s poker nights or any sort of impromptu entertainment. If you want a set that will last, look for glasses with a heavier base to prevent tipping and dishwasher safe for ease of use! Lead-free glass is most optimal too. If you’re looking for a custom set, we suggest scouring Etsy so you’ll have an array of options to choose from!
If you’re on the hunt for tequila gifts your dad will most definitely treasure, we hope our Tequila Gift Guide will come to the rescue!
