This twist on an Arnold Palmer has a local connection: It’s named in honor of Nashville’s most famous golfer, Brandt Snedeker. The American Born Dixie Moonshine needs something tart to balance out the sweet tea flavor, and the botanical ginger-infused Fentimans Victorian Lemonade does the trick quite nicely. (As a bonus, thanks to the recent changes in alcohol regulations, you can now buy your mixers at some of your favorite liquor stores.) This batch should fill a two-quart plastic bottle just about perfectly.
Ingredients:
1 25-oz. bottle American Born Moonshine Dixie 4 9.3-oz. bottles Fentimans Victorian Lemonade
Directions:
Mix ingredients in a plastic container. Screw on lid and shake vigorously. Keep cold and serve over ice.
