Ah, Summer. Drinks by the pool, picnics and wine and, of course, golf. Yes, golf. My idea of golf means hitting some balls at the range with a cocktail nearby, but since my boyfriend is a GM at a local golf course, I’ve learned a thing or two about the actual game.
Niki over at Stonetree Golf Course in Novato, CA, is the only female bartender at her course. Being that she’s the only female, Nike has come up with a few specialty drinks that she serves to women, and men, alike. The next time you’re out at the golf course, stop by the bar and order up one of these refreshing cocktails:
Hard Arnold Palmer
- 3 parts vodka
- 2 parts lemonade
- 2 parts ice tea
Serve over ice in a pint class; garnish with lemon garnish.
Melonrita
- 3 parts tequila
- 1 part Midori
- 2 parts sweet and sour
Served in salted pint glass over ice, with 3 lime wedges squeezed into it
Christini
Niki introduced this cocktail at her mother Chris’ recent birthday party, and it was quite a success!
- 3 parts vodka
- 2 parts cran-raspberry juice
- 1/2 part lime juice
- 1 part lemonade
Served chilled with lime wedges.
