Ingredients
Method

The Arnold Palmer is a simple, refreshing classic mocktail that combines iced tea and lemonade in perfect balance. Named after the legendary American golfer Arnold Palmer, the drink became popular in the 1960s when he was known for ordering this exact mix both on and off the course. Its smooth, lightly sweet flavour and crisp citrus edge have made it a firm favourite ever since. Easy to make and instantly recognisable, the Arnold Palmer is a go-to choice when you want something bright, familiar and effortlessly refreshing.
