You're Invited... to throw the Mahj party of the season! (The PGA Season that is!) We’ve got you covered with everything you need to host the perfect Masters & Mahj event. From table settings to recipes to the official Augusta National Azalea Cocktail. Plus a FREE Masters Playing Mat with Purchase of The Country Club Set!
When we were designing The Country Club Set, our golf-themed mahjong tile set, we heavily influenced by The Masters! There are many reasons The Masters is so beloved, the storied history of the tournament, the hallowed halls of the Augusta National Club, the palpable desire for that crisp green jacket. But as a Southern woman, the reasons I love the Masters also include the perfect weather this time of year, the gorgeous azalea blooms, and the delicious pairing of an Azalea cocktail with a pimento cheese sandwich on squishy white bread. While a trip to Augusta tops many golf-lovers' bucket lists, I now prefer to host a watch party in the comfort of my home—where I can pair my love of golf with a few rounds of American mahjong. There is truly nothing better than combining two favorite pastimes, golf and mahjong!
How to Host the Perfect Masters Watch Party with Mahjong
Step 1: The Menu
To host a Masters-inspired American mahjong party, start with the menu. Follow Augusta National’s lead and keep it simple with comfort foods and a signature cocktail. The hallmark dishes of The Masters Tournament include the famously $1.50 Pimento Cheese and Egg Salad Sandwiches, served on soft white bread—none of that multigrain, sprouted nonsense we usually stock our pantries with! Paired with the sweet-but-not-too-sweet Azalea cocktail, it’s the perfect combination for an afternoon of mahjong and golf.
The Masters announced last week that they would be shipping Taste of the Masters boxes with pre-made egg salad, pimento cheese, and the famous Azalea cocktail. Those boxes sold out within an hour of launching! But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the official recipes straight from Augusta National’s kitchen and the Junior League of Augusta’s Par 3 Tea-Time Cookbook.
Augusta National has revealed their EXACT recipe for the famous club’s cocktail, and it couldn’t be easier to make (or to drink!) You'll definitely be sure to Cheers for every Bird Bam! Here is the Official Recipe for the Masters Azalea Cocktail:
The only thing better than eating a $1.50 Pimento Cheese Sandwich at Augusta National is having one over a game of Mahjong! This recipe was originally provided by the Junior League of Augusta Georgia:
The trick to perfecting Augusta’s Egg Salad is getting the texture just right. The secret is in finely grating the eggs! Here is the recipe:
Now that you've got food and bev covered, let's set the Mahj table like a true champion!
