3 cocktails every golf course MUST master, according to Jon Taffer - Golf.com

GOLF’s Dylan Dethier recently spoke with “Bar Rescue” host and hospitality expert Jon Taffer about changes he’d like to see in the golf industry. You can read that complete Q&A here.

GOLF: Give me three indispensable cocktails that every golf course needs to have at the ready.

Jon Taffer: First, I would do a very special old-fashioned. I would use things like orange bitters, maybe some flavored bitters; some old-fashioneds use some cherry juice, you could play around with that. Pre-Prohibition, old-fashioneds had an orange, because the whiskey sucked. Post-Prohibition they didn’t have an orange; you can play around with that. Old-fashioneds you can sell for 30 dollars if you do it right.

Next, give me a Bloody Mary. That’s a cocktail that’s extremely hot right now. What’s fun about Bloody Marys is that clubs could easily set up Bloody Mary bars. Something as simple as a little table with some horseradish, some spices on it, some shrimp you can drop on it, some celery in there, all the fixings. If you can make your own Bloody Mary, dress it up yourself, have a little fun, that’s a win to start the day. I’d also be looking at pitchers of Bloody Marys for golf carts to go.

Third, dare I say it, a mimosa, because golf is such a daytime activity. You can play around with the champagne, you can play around with the juices, apricot juices and cherry juices and things like that — it doesn’t just have to be orange juice.

Again, it’s not just the cocktails on the menu, too: it’s how you offer them. You go to Yankee Stadium, they have a plastic mixing cup with a Yankee helmet on top with a cocktail in it. It’s sort of like a cocktail plus a glass. So you get this little glass plastic mixing cup and you get it attached to your glass. Why couldn’t we do the same with a cocktail on a golf cart?
