“The Southern John Daly is a direct descendant of the John Daly, which itself is an alcoholic version of the Arnold Palmer. By substituting bourbon for vodka and often introducing fresh mint, this libation transforms from a simple summer cooler into a complex, deeply American cocktail that speaks to the history and hospitality of the Southern United States. The 2:3:1.5 ratio of bourbon to sweet tea to lemonade provides perfect balance, with the robust character of bourbon present but not overpowering.”
