Magnolia — Club Magnolia’s Signature Cocktail
Bright lemon. Soft peach. Cool mint. A lively snap of ginger. Magnolia is spring in a cup — crafted exclusively for Augusta’s most anticipated week.
The Story Behind the Magnolia (Magnolia Mule)
Inspired by the iconic white magnolia blooms that define Augusta each spring, the Magnolia cocktail blends Southern elegance with refreshing mule-style energy. Floral notes from magnolia syrup meet bright citrus and a lively ginger finish—creating a drink that perfectly captures the spirit of spring in Augusta.
Naming our signature cocktail was easy. Nestled along historic Magnolia Drive, Club Magnolia is surrounded by magnolia trees and their beautiful blossoms. Honoring that natural beauty with a cocktail as distinctive as our venue felt only natural. Over time, guests began affectionately calling it the “Magnolia Mule,” a nod to its ginger-forward inspiration.
The flavor profile reflects the best of the South. Fresh-squeezed lemon provides the crisp brightness of classic Southern lemonade, while magnolia petals add subtle floral and ginger notes. Ginger beer brings sparkle and energy, a touch of peach pays tribute to Georgia, and fresh mint mirrors the deep green magnolia leaves that surround the property.
The result is a refreshing, floral cocktail that embodies the charm of Club Magnolia, Augusta in springtime, and the welcoming spirit of the South.
From Blossom to Glass
The secret is our Magnolia syrup: only available at Club Magnolia. It’s a simple syrup infused with fresh magnolia petals and brightened with a squeeze of lemon. The result is subtle, aromatic, and makes the entire drink taste like spring showed up dressed properly. When making the Magnolia at home, simple syrup or ginger syrup can be substituted to recreate the flavor.
Flavor Profile
