THE OFFICIAL COCKTAIL OF THE MASTERS THE AZALEA
2 ounces lemon juice
2 ounces pineapple juice
4 ounces vodka
¼ ounce grenadine
Combine the vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and grenadine in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain the contents of the shaker into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge, and serve. You may also want to add a festive green and white striped straw. I also love these faux Azalea bushes in white pots, as well as this artificial turf table runner to add to the table’s festive look!

Thanks Rachel!
I had no idea that the Azalea was the official flower of Georgia. I bet these would be fun to make for the Kentucky Derby too. Pinned!
I will have to make this for my husband while he watches the Masters this weekend. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Such a pretty drink!
Fun drink to toast the beautiful azaleas!
Thanks Linda!
