For the Dad Whose Coffee Needs an Extra Kick
We love this gift because it’s for coffee and bourbon lovers alike — extra points if dad is into both! This coffee is infused with bourbon, but while he can enjoy the flavor, there’s no actual alcohol left by the time he drinks it, so he can totally enjoy it in the morning!
