Have you ever been to...

MASTERS ?


I had the good fortune to visit the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club for the first time in 2011.  A perfect commencement to the spring season, the foliage was in spectacular bloom and I shamelessly fried under the unclouded sun.

The slanted evening light filtering through the tall pines and delicate blooms that set the best scenes. And by then, I was countless beers deep and really inspired.

When we spotted Arnold Palmer on the guesthouse balcony at Augusta National, I was disappointed that he wasn’t sipping the refreshing iced tea-lemonade of his namesake.  But I was inspired to mix one up for the camera.


Classic Arnold Palmer Recipe:
6 oz. lemonade
6 oz. sweet tea
Pour the lemonade first. Gingerly pour the tea on top for a layered concoction.
Garnish with a twist of lemon and a sprig of mint


Meg’s Twist on the Classic:
6 oz. lemonade
6 oz. Firefly Sweet Tea vodka




 Cheers!
