The Masters Azalea Cocktail

Whether or not you enjoy golf, the splendor and tradition of The Masters is unmatched.  Thanks to wealthy members, the Augusta National Gold Club, opened in 1932, maintains a lush setting with tall pines, abundant azaleas (30 varieties) and, for TV, painted greens.  Noting that Presidents seem to enjoy golf, President Eisenhouer played Augusta 29 times during his presidency.  Augusta over the years has painted a vibrant canvas of sports and passion and beauty.  Take from it the aspects you enjoy.

The same goes for the signature cocktail of The Masters. I’m not certain of the recipe used in the club bar but the Interweb recipes vary.  That’s perfect for us.  Choose Vodka or gin, lemonade or pineapple/lemon juice.  Just be sure to add a splash of grenadine and garnish with fresh fruit.  Then enjoy the color and pageantry and tradition of The Masters.
