My husband Shaun loves cocktails.

He enjoys experimenting with unique ingredients and crafting flavorful concoctions in the kitchen. He even whips up tasty mocktails for the kids!

In honor of Father’s Day, and the best Dad/Husband around, I want to share some of Shaun’s favorite cocktails -

1. Fill a wine glass with ice.
2. Pour in the Prosecco and balsamic, then the Aperol and club soda.
