Golf's Next Great Cocktail

Drinking Arnold Palmers and their booze infused cousin,  a John Daly, have been 19th hole libations for decades but Dixie Southern Vodka, a Charleston, South Carolina based craft distiller is upping the ante on golfer tipples.   Their smooth sipping product is 6x distilled from non-GMO American corn before the remaining impurities are purged in their TerraPURE process.  Along with plain, it also comes in all-natural mint and black pepper flavors.  Try their  Clubhouse Cooler which is  vying to move up the golf cocktail leaderboard and find its way into the mix at Masters parties. But with the Phoenix Open, aka  the  Greatest Show on Grass, upon upon us, why wait till then to give this drink a whirl?
