Arnold Palmer (drink)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Arnold Palmer consists of half iced tea (either sweetened or unsweetened) and half lemonade. It is particularly popular in northern West Virginia and western Pennsylvania as well as the south, but is known throughout the United States. In the south and Baltimore, it is known as half and half. It is said to be the favorite beverage of legendary golfer Arnold Palmer [1].
There are three alcoholic variations on the Arnold Palmer drink. This first is known as the Tom Arnold, consisting of the original half iced-tea/half lemonade mixture, with vodka added to taste. Another variation is the John Daly, contains 1 1/4 oz citrus vodka, 1/4 oz of triple sec that is then filled with 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 iced tea. Finally, the "Hard Arnold" or "Stiff Palmer" is a mixture of 1/2 Mike's Hard Lemonade and 1/2 Twisted Tea (most common in the midwest). [2]
