WHAT IS AN AZALEA COCKTAIL?

The azalea cocktail is a combination of pineapple juice, lemon juice, a spirit, and grenadine. It’s known as the cocktail of The Masters golf tournament. It’s perfect for serving when hosting a Masters watch party. Be sure and visit my post, Masters Party Ideas, to learn simple decorating tips, ideas for what to wear, and recipes to help you serve traditional foods from the Masters.

WHY IS THE COCKTAIL CALLED AZALEA?

If you ever come to Augusta in the spring, you will be awestruck at the blanket of color that permeates our yards and, most importantly, our beloved Augusta National golf course. It only seems fitting that a cocktail would be created to emulate the beautiful pink azaleas on the 13th hole at Augusta National Golf Club. The par 5,510-yard hole is one of the most famous holes in professional golf.

WHAT IS IN AN AZALEA COCKTAIL?

This cocktail is straightforward to make. The key is to use only fresh-squeezed lemon juice. If you have a yellow plastic lemon, don’t you dare use it in this drink. Fresh is best.

  • 2 ounces lemon juice fresh-squeezed
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 4 ounces vodka
  • ¼ ounce grenadine

WHAT IS GRENADINE?

Grenadine is a syrup that is used as a cocktail mixer. It is made from fresh pomegranate juice reduced with sugar. Basically, it is a simple syrup with a hint of citrus flavor and adds stunning red color to your drink.

WHAT ARE SOME ADD-IN IDEAS?

  • To make your cocktail creamy, try adding 1 tablespoon of whipping cream.
  • You could substitute gin for vodka if you prefer.
  • Add a few pomegranate seeds for color and texture.

ROSE PETAL GARNISH

To add a touch of floral accent to this drink, I like to garnish it with pink rose petals. I float them on top of the drink for looks, but they are edible. They have an earthy and floral taste, with a slight bit of sweetness to them.

HOW TO SERVE THE DRINK

I like to serve it in a large martini glass. Any cocktail glass will do as long as it shows off the pretty pink color. I serve it on ice with a few rose petals sprinkled on top.
