NetGifts' Skyy vodka has your dad's name on it - literally

Johannesburg, June 19, 2011 - – It's Father's Day, and it's time to separate the boys from the men. So rather than presenting your dad with the usual six pack at your Father's Day family braai, start him off on something a little more suave. How about a personalised bottle of vodka from NetGifts, delivered right to his front door? This sleek blue bottle of Skyy Vodka (R269) comes complete with a label bearing your dad's name and the words, "World's Finest Dad". Incidentally, Skyy carries the distinction of being the vodka with the fewest impurities and zero carbs.

Most of us regarded our dads with awe for the first few years of our lives, then rebelled against them during our teens. To show yours that you've now recognised the wisdom of his ways, serve him a special Father's Day version of the drink that's the embodiment of sophistication – the vodka martini. Here are a few recipes that should appeal to the discerning gent:

The James Bond Martini
30ml Skyy vodka
90ml gin
15ml dry vermouth

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.

The French Martini
45ml Skyy vodka
10ml raspberry liqueur
10ml fresh pineapple juice

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass, garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.

Socks, ties, chocolates and especially soap on a rope are out – with NetGifts, sending a stylish, iconic gift that's spot-on is a cinch. Get your gifts delivered at a charge of R59.
