gidiefor : Mod : 7/1/2016 9:04 am

koko -- that looks similar to Campari -- I have to try that
I like quite a few on their list, but always in moderation.

There was a time when I didn't even know the meaning of the word moderation, and then I got a job as a bouncer and I changed my wicked ways.

Firefly Vodka is locally distilled and is available in several flavored varieties. I like the Sweet Tea version, and mix it with a little Lemonade -- an Easy Arnold Palmer.

Sometimes a go a little heavy on the Vodka part and the drink becomes a John Daly.
Tanqueray and Tonic

With a splash of lime
Funny thing about beer.  
Klaatu : 7/1/2016 9:55 am : link
Like jcn56, I like a cold one on a hot day, but just one (maybe two). After that I completely lose my taste for it. Go figure.
Iced fennel tea

Actually, the half and half is not the Arnold Palmer. Palmer's recipe is at least 75% iced tea.

every recipe I find has 50/50, maybe 50% iced tea dominates the lemonade.

I see nowhere that says "at least 75%" but whatever I don't care. 99% of people use them synonymously.

I'm sure this thing has an actual name, but this is what the chicks who tended bar in Okinawa called them after my good friend Timmy, who ordered them all the time. You can say it's a chick drink....and you'd be right, but I don't care, they're damned delicious. Equal parts Southern Comfort, 151, grenadine, and pineapple juice. Can be blended if that's your pleasure.

You are looking up recipes for "half and half" drinks, that's why. That's not his drink. Arnold Palmer himself said that the drink is primarily iced tea. Watch the ESPN commercial. He fills his cup with iced tea, then lemonade, then more iced tea. Video proof it's not half and half.

I googled "How do you make an Arnold Palmer" nothing to do with half & half.

Use store-bought lemonade and iced tea. If you'd like to make a big pitcher of Arnold Palmer, fill a large pitcher or drink dispenser halfway with the lemonade. Top off with the iced tea, and stir to combine.

But Tanquerray works too, or Beefeaters, Gordon's etc.

On a not too hot summer night with a sultry babe on my arm (my wife) champagne or other fine and dry sparkling wine like a Cava or Cali version. Yarden of Israel makes a dynamite bubbly.

That's fine.

I'll go ahead and trust Arnold Palmer on how to make the drink he created. Not some bored housewife's variation of it on Allrecipes. If the video proof of Palmer making it himself doesn't sink in with you, i guess there's nothing more I can say. Enjoy your "Half and Half". My Arnold Palmer is delicious.

I don't even like them. Arnold Palmer, Half and Halfs or sweetened iced tea or lemonade. I'm just telling you how the general public (and probably Arizona Beverages who officially own the name) think of them.
Which is unfortunate.

The Arizona version doesn't even have lemonade in it, just some lemon juice. Along with all kinds of other things.

buford : 7/1/2016 10:31 pm : link
I put a lot of ice in a tervis container. I put some sea salt in it. I pour have tea and half water. Sometimes I put in a squirt of lemon. It's like a homemade gatorade. The salt negates the sometimes metallic taste of water. And it helps on days like today when I'm out in the yard and it's brutally hot.
water, or homemade superchilled limoncello
