The Arnold Palmer is the ultimate non-alcoholic summer drink: half black iced tea, half zesty lemon soda. The combination of tart tea and fruity sweetness refreshes on hot days like almost no other beverage. Easy to make and suitable for the whole family.
Instructions
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in the chilled black iced tea.
- Top up with equal parts lemon soda.
- Stir briefly so both components combine.
- Garnish with a lemon slice and a mint sprig.
Garnish: Lemon slice and mint sprig
Pro tip: Brew the iced tea yourself and keep it unsweetened - that way you can control the ratio of tea to lemonade to your taste and it won't get too sweet.
