The Masters

Tam O’Shanter was a drunken farmer in one of Robert Burns’ most famous poems. Burns hailed from just outside Ayr—not 10 miles south of Troon—which was also home to the fictional O’Shanter. The entirely fitting Tam O’Shandy was a Burns Night special enjoyed by guests at the Marine Troon, and this refreshing cocktail would taste great on a sunny April afternoon in Georgia.
