Arnold Palmer & Half n' Half

It's just been in the past year or so that I've learned about an Arnold Palmer, mainly because I don't frequent golf courses, but also because the idea of iced tea in the UK is anathema plain, let alone cut by half with lemonade.
For those not in the know, an Arnold Palmer drink is half lemonade and half sweet tea or plain iced tea. It's also called a half & half, depending on where you order it.

My new favourite version of it is from Big Bad Wolf, using their refreshing mint iced tea and lemonade! There are other versions of this, including one made with iced tea and lemon vodka, or iced-tea flavoured vodka and lemonade, called a John Daly.

My absolute, all-time favorite. I would drink nothing else if I could.

Arnold Palmers are my favorite summertime drink! I can't believe you have been missing out on them for all this time!

When I worked in Pigtown, I loved to get Sweet Tea or Half & Half from Marty's Deli at Scott & Cross St.! Iced tea sometimes with lemonade is my absolute favorite summer beverage. Thanks for the cocktail ideas.

Another great Arnold Palmer can be had at On the Hill, the cafe in Bolton Hill (not to be confused with Bistro B). Delish!
