Notes
Vodka: Plain vodka is what is classically used in this recipe. Spring for a quality vodka, as cheaper vodka can have a more cloying, alcoholic taste. Tito’s, Reyka and Deep Eddy are great brands to try.Iced tea: Technically the Arnold Palmer uses unsweetened black tea, but if you want a sweeter drink you can use sweet tea.Flavors: You can have fun by playing with flavored versions of any of the ingredients to make it your own. Try peach iced tea, strawberry lemonade or raspberry vodka.Sweet tea vodka: If using sweet tea vodka, use 2 ounces sweet tea vodka and 4 ounces lemonade.
