A tall, non-alcoholic refresher of equal parts iced tea and lemonade, built over ice for a balance of brisk tannin and bright citrus. It carries the name of golfer Arnold Palmer, who took to mixing the two at home in the 1950s and made the order famous on the course — a stranger overhearing him in Palm Springs reportedly asked for "that Arnold Palmer drink," and the name stuck. Palmer himself leaned tea-heavy (three to one), but the half-and-half pour is the version the name now denotes.
