In layman’s terms, a homegate is a tailgate party that gets thrown at home. Family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are often invited to these events. No matter if you decide to go to the event in person or if you choose to stay home, there is a reason to celebrate! So how do you bring the taste of Augusta to your home for all the golf fans? With these classic Masters recipes from the Augusta National Golf Club menu!
You can keep the dishes nearby while enjoying the top-notch swings on TV, and if you prefer, you can even whip them up fresh during commercial breaks—though you might miss some action. However you choose to prepare the food is perfectly fine; after all, we believe in letting everyone do things their own way.
Is your mouth starting to water? Let’s discuss these six recipes so that you can bring a little taste of the masters into your home.
1. Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese has been on the menu at Augusta National for over 50 years. For it to have that kind of staying power, they have to be doing something right. At the club, sandwiches are available for $1.50, but you can make as much pimento cheese that you want for your homegate! Then you can try it out as a sandwich, on crackers, or any other creative way you can think of. This recipe was inspired by The Takeout, and combines white cheddar cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, and pimientos for amazing deliciousness between two pieces of white bread. It will be ready in under 10 minutes!
2. Green Jacket Salad
The famous Green Jacket Salad at Augusta National originated at a restaurant in Augusta, Georgia, called the Green Jacket. The establishment used to sit across from the golf club but is no longer there. It will never be forgotten, though, thanks to this recipe. This exceptional dish is easy to make, and it doesn’t require all that many ingredients. The Green Jacket Salad mixes together fresh vegetables with pita chips and an amazing parmesan dressing. You will fall in love with this salad and it will impress all the golf fans at your tailgate party.
3. Sour Cream Pound Cake
Every homegating party needs something sweet for all the golf fans to eat. Picking up treats from the store may be easy but if you want to stick to the true theme here, you will want to make this amazing Augusta Sour Cream Pound Cake from scratch! It sounds a lot harder than it really is. You can serve by itself or with a whipped topping. We guarantee this will be the best pound cake you have ever eaten.
4. Egg Salad
Club patrons can indulge in Augusta’s renowned Masters egg salad sandwich at the concession stands, but you can also recreate these delectable treats at home for your tailgate gathering. Whether enjoyed as a classic egg salad or transformed into tasty sandwiches, there are no strict guidelines—just ensure it’s irresistibly delicious! Mix hard-boiled eggs with creamy mayonnaise and tangy relish for a velvety texture that’s sure to satisfy.
5. Azalea Cocktail
The Augusta National Golf Club not only serves amazing food but they also offer delicious alcoholic drinks. The Azalea Cocktail is named after the 13th hole at the Augusta National Golf Club. This hole was named after all of the beautiful pink Azalea plants that bloom from March to mid-April at the club. There are over 30 different varieties of this plant found here. This beautiful drink mixes sweet fresh fruit with gin to create an amazing taste. It is perfect to serve to all the golf fans at your home.
6. Arnold Palmer
The tailgate party recipe we will discuss is in honor of the great golf legend Arnold Palmer. He had multiple victories in Augusta at the Masters Tournament and was a four-time Green Jacket winner. At the club, he would order a mixture of sweet tea and lemonade. From here the “Arnold Palmer” took off and everyone needed one. This is the perfect springtime drink.
