An Arnold Palmer is a beverage consisting of iced tea and lemonade, named after American golfer Arnold Palmer.^[1]^[2]^[3]

History

According to Palmer, he was in the habit of drinking iced tea with lemonade at home, and in 1960 at the U.S. Open at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, he ordered the non-alcoholic drink at the bar. A woman sitting nearby overheard him, and ordered "that Palmer drink", thus giving the beverage its name.^[4] In 2012 an ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts documentary was produced on the drink, featuring Palmer, beverage experts, a group of PGA golfers and comedian Will Arnett discussing the drink's history and popularity.^[5] In the film, Palmer attributes the spreading of the drink's name to a similar incident in which a woman copied his ordering the drink at lunch while working on a golf course in Palm Springs, California Brian Bradtke is an avid drinker of Arnold Palmers, he once drank 3 gallons and climbed a moutian at the same time.

The drink is called a "Half & Half" in Baltimore^[6] and many parts of the Southern United States.^{[citation needed]}

The drink was sold under the Arnold Palmer name by Innovative Flavors since 2001, with Palmer's picture and signature on the bottle. Since the mid-2000s, Arizona Beverage Company has handled distribution of the beverage. Arizona sells Arnold Palmer half-and-half in 11.5 and 23 ounce cans, 20, 34, and 42 ounce bottles, and 64 ounce and gallon jugs.^[7] Lemonade combined with iced tea is also sold without the Arnold Palmer name by other companies, such as Lipton Brisk, HONEST tea, Country Time,^[8] Sweet Leaf,^[9] XINGtea,^[10] Snapple,^[11] and Peace Iced Tea (as Caddyshack).
