Azalea Cocktails for Masters weekend

What better way to watch the final two days at Augusta National, than with an Azalea Cocktail in hand? The Masters-themed beverage is as much a must at your weekend watch parties as pimento or egg salad sandwiches. I’ve seen recipes using gin or vodka, lemonade or lime juice, but personally I think the one I found from www.rieglpalate.com looks the tastiest. Thanks Nicole Riegl! Try it for yourself!

Ingredients

2 ounces lime juice (~ 2 to 3 limes)
2 ounces pineapple juice
4 ounces vodka
¼ ounce grenadine, preferably homemade
lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

Freshly squeeze lime juice.
Fill shaker half way with ice.
Add lime juice, pineapple juice, vodka and grenadine.
Strain into highball glasses or mason jars filled with ice.
Serve each with a wheel lime slice

Notes

* You can substitute gin for vodka if that’s your preference
* Use non-wheat vodka to make this gluten-free
