FAQ's
Who invented the Arnold Palmer cocktail?
The Arnold Palmer cocktail is named after the American golfer Arnold Palmer. He is credited with popularizing the drink, which he made at home by combining lemonade and iced tea. The drink became well-known when Palmer ordered it in a restaurant, and a nearby patron overheard and ordered 'that Palmer drink,' thus giving it its name.
What is the best way to serve an Arnold Palmer?
An Arnold Palmer is best served cold in a highball glass. It's traditionally not shaken or stirred; you simply pour lemonade and iced tea over ice. The drink can be garnished with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for added freshness.
Can I use flavored tea or lemonade in an Arnold Palmer?
Yes, you can customize your Arnold Palmer by using flavored tea or lemonade. Consider trying peach or raspberry iced tea, or even a pink lemonade for a twist on the classic recipe. These substitutions can add an interesting depth to the traditional flavor.
Is there a way to make an Arnold Palmer more exciting without adding alcohol?
Absolutely! Although the classic Arnold Palmer is non-alcoholic, you can make it more exciting by adding carbonated water for some fizz, or by infusing the lemonade or iced tea with herbs like basil, mint, or rosemary before mixing them together.
What occasions are most suitable for serving an Arnold Palmer?
An Arnold Palmer is a versatile drink suitable for a variety of occasions. It's perfect for a refreshing daytime drink, at a summer BBQ or picnic, during a golf outing, or anytime you're looking for a non-alcoholic option that's flavorful and refreshing.
