Ingredients

2 ounces lemonade
4 ounces iced tea unsweetened
1 slice lemon for garnish
1 sprig fresh mint

Instructions

Fill a glass with ice. You can use a short glass or a tall glass.
Pour in lemonade, then top with your favorite iced tea.
Stir it up, garnish your lemonade iced tea with lemon slices, fresh mint leaves or fresh fruit.

Notes

The best ratio for an Arnold Palmer: This comes down to personal preference. There are a few ratios to try:

1:1 — Fill the glass with ice, then fill it with half lemonade and half tea.
1:2 — Add lemonade ⅓ of the way with lemonade, then top with tea.
1:3 — Fill the glass ¼ full of lemonade, then top with tea.

The one you like best will depend on how sweet you like your Arnold Palmer drinks. If you are using unsweetened iced tea, it can help to tamp down on the sweetness of the lemonade. If you prefer more lemon flavor, stick to the half-and-half ratio or use less tea.

Variations and substitutions

Winnie Palmer: Use sweet tea instead of unsweetened tea.
John Daly / Spiked Arnold Palmer: Add 1½ ounces of vodka and shake it up in a cocktail shaker. You could also use rum or limoncello.
Sugar-free Arnold Palmer: Use your favorite sugar-free sweetener, such as Stevia, in homemade lemonade and iced tea.
Arnold Palmer Punch: Multiply the recipe and serve it in a large pitcher to make a big batch for a party.
Flavored Arnold Palmer: Add some pizzazz to this easy drink by adding a flavored lemonade or a flavorful iced tea.
