### Father's Day gifts for father figures

### On The Rocks Crystal-Clear Ice Ball Maker

For the “cool guy” who enjoys a drink, this ice-ball maker is as neat to look at as it is practical. Circular cubes have less surface area exposed to a liquid, so they melt slower. This kit has a cutting edge icebox, trays and its own special water system to give him a crystal-clear sphere. (If your budget is a bit tighter, try this spherical ice mold to keep his cocktails looking cool.)

### Powell & Mahoney Classic Margarita Cocktail Mixer
