April is here, and for many, that means the birds are singing, the azaleas are blooming, and the world turns its attention to Augusta National for the Masters Tournament. It's a time steeped in tradition that also happens to have a signature drink we love to sip this time of year—the bright, refreshing Azalea cocktail.
While we might not all get to walk the hallowed grounds of Augusta, we can certainly capture the spirit of celebration and camaraderie that the Masters embodies. At High Camp Flasks, we believe the best moments are shared, often with a good drink in hand. This Azalea cocktail isn't just perfect for raising a glass during a Masters watch party with your crew; it's also a fantastic, refreshing spring sipper for any sunny afternoon gathering. And what better way to prepare and share it than by batching up this classic golf cocktail in your Firelight Flask®?
What Exactly is an Azalea Cocktail?
Named after the vibrant pink flowers that famously adorn the Augusta National course, the Azalea cocktail is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Our version is a vibrant mix of gin or vodka, tangy pineapple juice, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of grenadine for that signature pink hue and a touch of sweetness. The result? A perfectly balanced, tart, and incredibly refreshing drink ideal for springtime sipping, whether you're watching the final round indoors or enjoying an early spring day outdoors.
Why Batch Your Azalea? Sharing Made Simple.
Making cocktails one by one can pull you away from the action – whether that's sinking a putt on the back nine or watching the drama unfold on TV. Batching cocktails ahead of time means less fuss and more fun. Pouring a perfectly mixed Azalea for your friends becomes effortless.
And when it comes to batching and sharing, nothing beats the High Camp Firelight Flask®. This isn't just any flask; it's a statement piece designed for shared experiences.

- Sharing is Caring: The integrated, magnetically locking tumblers make sharing easy and elegant. No plastic cups needed here.

The Perfect Masters Azalea Batch Recipe (for your Firelight Flask®)
Ready to mix up a batch fit for a champion? This recipe is perfectly scaled to fill your Firelight Flask®. Here's our subtle take on the Masters' Classic.
Ingredients:
- 9 oz (approx. 270ml) Vodka or Gin (your preference!)
- 9 oz (approx. 270ml) Pineapple Juice
- 4.5 oz (approx. 135ml) Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2.25 oz (approx. 70ml) Grenadine
Instructions:
- Combine & Stir: Pour all ingredients over ice into a large mason jar (at least 1L capacity) or pitcher. Stir well to combine.
- Strain: Place a fine-mesh strainer over the opening of your Firelight Flask® and carefully pour the mixture from the jar into the flask. Straining helps remove any pulp or ice shards for a smoother sip.
- Add Ice (Optional): The wide mouth of the Firelight Flask® makes it easy to add ice directly to the flask after straining, if you want your cocktail extra cold upon pouring.
- Serve & Share: Pour the chilled Azalea into the integrated tumblers. Garnish with a lemon wedge and perhaps a maraschino cherry for that extra Augusta flair.
