The azalea cocktail is the signature drink of the pro golf Masters Tournament. The Masters is held each April at Augusta National in Georgia, where thousands of perfectly-bloomed azalea bushes line the the course. This iconic namesake drink uses grenadine to match the pink blooms and spring atmosphere. Some Azalea recipes call for a splash of pineapple juice, but the course has confirmed their version is made with the simple vodka, lemonade, and grenadine recipe below. We make use of our all-natural maple-based Grenadine Syrup, instead of the typical corn syrup and red dye version, because a top-tier competition deserves top-tier ingredients.

 

We’ll be enjoying this light and refreshing punch all Masters’ weekend and into the summer. Next up: we’re looking into ways to incorporate maple into a pimento cheese sandwich…
