The name Arnold Palmer has legendary roots as an original
beverage combination of half iced tea and half lemonade, widely known for its
refreshing taste and ability to revive the senses after a competitive round of
golf. AriZona and Arnold Palmer have teamed up to produce Arnold Palmer Lite
Half and Half. You can find it at most stores that carry Arizona brand teas.
If you cannot find the Arnold Palmer tea (or if you would just prefer to make your own), here is a great alternative recipe. Since we are using Canadian whisky, we have named our version the Mike Weir.
the mike weir 2 cups boiling water • 4 tea bags • 4 oz proof
whisky • juice of 1 orange • juice of 1 lemon • juice of 1 lime • 2 oz simple
syrup
Pour water over tea, and steep for about 10 minutes. Strain,
and refrigerate. Stir in proof whisky, juices, and simple syrup. Serve over
ice. Garnish with citrus slices (makes 4 cocktails)
