Top 5 Golf Drinks Every Golfer Should Try

Golf is a game of tradition:
Tee it high, let it fly, take a Breakfast Ball when nobody's looking — and of course, have a drink (or two) in hand by the turn.

If you’re serious about your "hydration" on the course, here’s our official countdown of the Top 5 Golf Drinks.
(Yes, we're playing favorites.)

5. Beer (Preferably Light, Definitely Cold)

The OG golf course companion.

Nothing fancy here — just pure, frosty, simple satisfaction. Whether it’s a Miller Lite, Coors Light, or whatever the cart girl has iced down, beer has been carrying golfers through blow-up holes and miracle birdies for generations.
One rule: cold > warm. Always.

A good beer doesn’t fix your slice, but it definitely makes you stop caring about it.

4. High Noon (or Any Solid Canned Seltzer)

Light, refreshing, and won't have you napping in the fairway.

There’s a reason these canned cocktails are taking over golf bags everywhere. High Noon leads the pack with real vodka, real fruit juice, and none of the weird aftertaste.
Perfect for when you need a little buzz without turning your round into a full endurance sport.

Bonus: fits nicely in a cart cupholder and a Sunday bag side pocket.

3. Bloody Mary

The breakfast of champions (and hungover 8 AM tee times).

Tomato juice, vodka, spices, and enough garnishes to count as a meal — a Bloody Mary is basically life support for morning rounds.
It’s salty, spicy, and somehow makes that first triple bogey feel like a minor inconvenience.

If you're playing early, there’s no better way to feel like you're "being responsible" while definitely not being responsible.

2. John Daly

A little sweet tea, a little lemonade, a lotta bad decisions.

Named after golf’s wildest legend, the John Daly is simple: an Arnold Palmer (half tea, half lemonade)… spiked with vodka.
It’s smooth, dangerously drinkable, and if you aren’t careful, it'll have you trying Happy Gilmore drives by the 14th hole.

Grip it, rip it, sip it.

1. Transfusion

The king. The icon. The MVP of the golf course.

If golf had an official cocktail, it would be the mighty Transfusion.
Vodka, ginger ale, and a splash of grape juice — refreshing, slightly sweet, dangerously easy to drink, and weirdly energizing.
It’s the answer to hot rounds, cold rounds, good rounds, terrible rounds, and everything in between.

There’s a reason you see it clutched in the hands of golfers who gave up keeping score after the 7th hole.
Pro tip: It pairs perfectly with a Breakfast Ball — or three.

Golf is serious business... until it's not.
A good drink isn’t just about cooling off — it’s about making the bad shots funnier and the good shots unforgettable.

Next time you hit the course, bring your clubs, bring your best attitude, and definitely bring your thirst.
(And maybe grab a new hat from Breakfast Ball Golf Co. to complete the look. Because just like your drink order, style matters.)

🍹🏌️♂️ Here’s to less stress, better vibes, and just enough drinks to blame your double bogeys on something other than your swing.
