"His eponymous cocktail is merely a vodka-infused version of the beloved lemonade/iced tea hybrid made famous by another golfer. Easy to assemble, refreshing to swig, and fun to tweak. It turns out that lemonade and iced tea play well against other base spirits, too. Notably, American whiskey. Trey Zoeller, founder of Jefferson's Bourbon, likes to use his own juice as the anchor in an equally crushable variation. It's hot as hell here in Kentucky during the summer, he tells Esquire. I cool down with my twist on the John Daly. I call it the Trey Zoeller."
"Initially conceived by British colonial officers as a tasty way to fend off malaria, it has enjoyed status as a bar room staple for over 160 years. The G-and-T is the ultimate two-ingredient tipple. Easy refreshment that's nearly impossible to mess up. In the earlier parts of this century, imaginative sorts in Spain entered all manner of elevated garnish into the equation. They'd plop things like rosemary sprig and peppercorn into balloon glasses to stimulate the senses."
The John Daly combines 1.5 ounces of vodka or bourbon with two ounces each of lemonade and iced tea, served over ice in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon wheel. Variations include substituting American whiskey such as Jefferson's Bourbon, promoted as the Trey Zoeller. The Gin and Tonic originated as a malaria preventative used by British colonial officers and has remained a two-ingredient staple for over 160 years. Spanish bartenders introduced elaborate garnishes like rosemary and peppercorn, while new world gins and premium mixers have shifted flavor profiles. The classic ideal pairs London Dry gin with highly carbonated tonic and fresh citrus.
