The Arnold Palmer was born from the genuine preferences of its namesake, the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, who passed away in 2016. According to Palmer himself, he began ordering this combination of iced tea and lemonade at country clubs in the 1960s, asking bartenders to mix the two drinks together. The story goes that Palmer would request 'that drink I always get'—three parts unsweetened iced tea to one part lemonade. A woman sitting nearby overheard Palmer's order and asked for 'that Palmer drink,' and thus a legend was born. The beverage gained national recognition when Palmer's friend, restaurateur Bill Dwyer, started serving it at his establishments. Arizona Beverage Company later commercialized the drink with Palmer's blessing in the 1990s, though Palmer famously joked that he never received royalties commensurate with the drink's popularity. The cocktail represents more than just a refreshing beverage—it embodies Palmer's down-to-earth personality and his ability to make golf accessible to everyday Americans.
