My husband is a PGA lifetime member and attends the Masters each year, bringing back stories of the tournament’s food traditions. He says my pimento cheese sandwich recipe closely matches the Masters version. Pairing those sandwiches with the Azalea Cocktail gives you the authentic viewing experience at home.

You will need:

Ice

1 ¼ oz. vodka

5 oz. lemonade

½ oz grenadine

Directions for Masters Azalea Cocktail:

Fill a glass with ice.

Pour the vodka over the ice.

Add the lemonade.

Pour in the grenadine and stir gently.

Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the vodka.

This cocktail is light and bright, with the citrus of the lemonade and the sweet color and flavor from grenadine. Some variations include pineapple juice, but the official Masters recipe lists only vodka, lemonade and grenadine. With just three main ingredients, it’s simple and delightful—perfect for sipping while watching the tournament.

If you prefer a mocktail, simply leave out the vodka and enjoy the lemonade and grenadine combination with the same garnish.
