Recipe of the Week: Swing Oil Cocktail
On par.
This year for the first time ever, Italy hosted the biennial Ryder Cup. On a 350-acre estate in the lush countryside outside Rome, Marco Simone Golf & Country Club’s rolling fairways and undulating greens were home to the Cup and inspired a cocktail from the nearby Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese hotel as an accompaniment for watching the matches between the USA and Europe. The tournament ended October 1, but thanks to the recipe provided by Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, you can still enjoy the cocktail, named Swing Oil, a nickname for alcohol imbibed to improve performance on the course. The refreshing drink is crafted with PS1 Aperitivo Green, lemon, honey, mint, and scotch.
