Drink responsibly on a golf vacation by avoiding this unsavory combo.
How’s this for an example of overzealous marketing? To help sell hotel rooms during Fourth of July weekend — when Tiger Woods’ first-ever, co-sponsored PGA Tour event (the AT&T National) comes to Congressional Country Club — the Fairmont Washington D.C. has created an entirely new cocktail, a Tiger Woods martini.
It’s part of the Fairmont’s “Under Par on the Fourth” package, which, as far as I can tell, includes nothing more than a hotel room, a discount on an Enterprise rental car, and the cocktail for $229 per night plus tax. If you want there to be any golf in this golf vacation package, you’ll have to set it up yourself.
Back to the drink. It is, in my opinion, an abomination of mixology, a combination of vodka and, get this, SunnyD. Fairmont claims the processed orange drink is Tiger’s favorite beverage, despite evidence that he prefers water, cranberry juice and ginger ale and, at least as a kid, his favorite libation was cherry soda.
