Back Down South

Drink This – The Mulligan (+ Giveaway!)

The Drink: The Mulligan, our improved version of a John Daly (lemonade, tea, and vodka). You may have been calling it an “alcoholic Arnold Palmer,” but it’s John Daly, friends.

When Firefly brought sweet tea vodka into our lives, it made John Daly’s even easier to make, and even more delicious. But when we visited the distillery last Spring, I discovered something that my liquor store didn’t carry at the time: Sweet Tea Bourbon. Holy smokes, southern Batman! I was in love. Bourbon whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Distillery infused with South Carolina tea and sweetened with cane sugar? Boom.

Now that it’s officially warmer weather cocktail season, sweet tea liquor was in order a few nights ago…but I wanted to alter it a tad. Thus, The Mulligan was born. Using Sweet Tea Vodka in this would also be delicious, I just highly recommend giving it a try with Sweet Tea Bourbon. The must do alteration here is fresh lemon juice instead of store bought lemonade. A little extra work goes a long way in this drink. The measurements below are for a 12 oz glass. Pour, stir, and enjoy.

  • 6 oz Firefly Sweet Tea Bourbon (or Sweet Tea Vodka).
  • 3 oz water.
  • 1.5 oz fresh lemon juice.
  • Handful of ice.
  • Lemon wheel to garnish.

The Glass: Firefly Mason Jar glass (c/o).

The Attire:

    Was hoping for a Keegan Bradley win tomorrow, but I love me some Brandt Snedeker. Hope he gets the green.

    I guess I am a sentimentalist this year. I would love to see Fred Couples pull it out to wear green again.
