Arnold Palmer is a non-alcoholic cocktail that combines unsweetened iced tea and lemonade. It is mainly made with three parts iced tea and one part lemonade, though half and half versions are also common. It was named after a famous American golf player.
The most common explanation is that Palmer often requested and enjoyed this refreshing, alcohol-free drink. Although it is traditionally made as a non-alcoholic drink, there are numerous alcohol-laced versions, mostly made with vodka. These alcoholic versions are sometimes called John Daly—referring to another golf player who allegedly had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
