these are the things that make me very unhappy with web based power of certain sources. the "arnold Palmer" is not new and it has been a part of southern beverages for a very long time. it name in my seventy years is "cinderella", even nantucket nectors has a version on the market. Please check your info before using the power of you mag.
They never said it was new. Just because it's published online doesn't mean they invented it. I think it certainly belongs in the recipes, as it is a truly classic, and absolutely delicious, drink. I will say that when making it in a clear glass, the best presentation is to pour the lemonade in first, and then very slowly add the iced tea so that it stays in two separate layers. When presentation doesn't matter as much, add the iced tea first so that it's easier to mix the two.
I went and checked the info for you, ijhhot. According to multiple sources online, a Cinderella is a non-alcoholic punch with orange, pineapple, and lemon; there's no iced tea. On Wikipedia's page about the Arnold Palmer, it does mention that in the South it's often known as a Half & Half. There is no mention of it being called a Cinderella. Could you cite the info that you checked where it's called a Cinderella?

All though the 90s, I used to go to a burger place in the Bay Area that served this as Teamonade. I'd never heard of it called an Arnold Palmer until I moved to LA and that is what every place calls it.
I've been enlightened-seriously I've never seen such a creative concoction in my life until now. This recipe has changed my refreshment experience-FOREVER.
How is this different from iced tea with lemon and sugar?
I always knew it as Sunshine Tea.
I prefer the Long Island Iced Tea.
Half and Half, or Arnold Palmer is what I have always heard it called, and I grew up in Texas and have lived in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
huh. when i worked at McDonald's many many years ago, we all used to drink this. we never called it anything except maybe Iced Tea with Lemonade in it. good to know it has a name.
My god, who cares what it is called? If Arnold Palmer drank the dang thing, that's good enough for me...now...hand me a quart of Pennzoil willya, and stop yer bellyachin'...God Bless Arnie!
methinks the chow editors are watching too much TV. not that I know everything, but I heard the term "Arnold Palmer" regarding a drink on a recent episode of "The Sopranos," Tony was having a meeting at a golf course and his partner ordered it. Low and behold, Chow has a little story and recipe.
More importantly, whether it's new or not, or called and "Arnold Palmer" or "Half-and-Half" or just iced tea and lemonade, it was an uninteresting and pretty weak compared to some of the other things I've seen here. Did Chow just jump the shark? What's next, cereal and milk?
everyone should shut up
no, you!
I thought an "Arnold Palmer" was the blood of Arnold Palmer mixed with goats milk.
Ladelfa- it's different from just putting sugar and lemon in your tea because there's generally a lot more lemon and sugar going in and Arnold Palmer.
Arnold Palmer is prolly the name o' the Country Club set, we always called it a Half and Half, and that is what Nantucket Nectar's calls theirs, which is decent.
I believe Simon is right, but it's usually reserved to baby goats for the brighter color of their blood.
I'm furious at chowhound because my grandma used to make this drink and called it Scratchy Pete's Tears and now they're trying to tell me it's an Arnold Palmer! Puh-leeze.
One of my favorite drinks. It is called an Arnold Palmer. Good Ole' Arnie used to mix Lemonade and Iced Tea and drink it on tour. Hence the name Arnold Palmer.
Been serving this at my cafe for 15 yrs., always known as an Arnold Palmer. Classic classic drink.
I found that this is equally good using a lemon green tea. I also like to mix half lemonaid with half lemon lime selzer. Good stuff. Refreshing without all the sugar.
Heading into the 19th hole (clubhouse)we have always ordered a RazzLime or an Arnold Palmer - for at least the last 30 years
I've been in Savannah for a bit over a year, adn they call it "Swampwater" down here. Although, I think it's usually sweet tea, as opposed to plain tea
Wow. People get pissed off really easily these days.
Some people need to get a life, there's nothing wrong with CHOW sharing any of these recipies, no matter where they come from....thanks CHOW!!!!!
couch, you're absolutely correct, except in this case there isn't much of a recipe... some iced tea and lemonade? that's what brought out the critics... what's next? peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches? I love CHOW and most of the recipes are great, but an Arnold Palmer/Half-and-Half or whatever it's name is just filler, if you ask me
Although known as an Arne Palmer, I don't like golfing so I really really wish it had another name...
