Arnold Palmer Recipe
Email
An unbeatable combination of iced tea and lemonade, this classic nonalcoholic drink helps refresh you on the hottest of days.
INGREDIENTS
- Ice
- 1/2 cup Lemonade
- 1/2 cup Basic Iced Tea
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place ice in a tall glass. Fill halfway with lemonade and top with iced tea. Sweeten to taste.
Blondies -- an Arnold Palmer is also known as a half-and-half... although that name can obviously be confused with other things. If you don't like golf, think of the Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital... although a living (golf) legend, Palmer is known for a lot more than just golf.
There can actually be more to this recipe.
I've tried it with different teas for instance, and being diabetic I like a no-sugar lemonade.
I like making the tea from scratch - as opposed to a mix which tend to be pre-sweetened - I sometimes use Lemonade crystals - which I mix into the tea when it's warm to dissolve it completely.
I've tried with Chai Tea, Vanilla Tea and Earl Grey - and of course the regular Orange Pekoe - all make for a nice change. Although the Chai needs to be made weak, or it overpowers.
Also - needs a lemon wedge.
Also also - you must pour this over Ice, drinking it cold from the fridge is nice, but over ice it dilutes it just a wee bit enough to finish the flavour properly.
Although known as an Arne Palmer, I don't like golfing so I really really wish it had another name...
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
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!!!!!
Wow. People get pissed off really easily these days.
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
Heading into the 19th hole (clubhouse)we have always ordered a RazzLime or an Arnold Palmer - for at least the last 30 years
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.
Been serving this at my cafe for 15 yrs., always known as an Arnold Palmer. Classic classic drink.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
I prefer the Long Island Iced Tea.
I always knew it as Sunshine Tea.
How is this different from iced tea with lemon and sugar?
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.
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?

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.
