Juice Trivia

Arnold Palmer

Yes, this blend of two classic summertime beverages is indeed named after famed golfer Arnold Palmer. And the story of how it came to be is quite simple: Palmer had been making himself a combination of lemonade and iced tea for years.

One day, in the late 1960s, he sat down in a restaurant in Palm Springs and asked the waitress for a half-lemonade, half-iced tea. In a very When Harry Met Sally moment, a woman nearby overheard the order and said, "I'll have that Arnold Palmer drink!" The beverage caught on, and soon enough, it became an American classic.
