Palmer started ordering an iced tea/lemonade mix in restaurants or bars when he was playing tournaments after having dreamed it up in his kitchen one hot day. His fans took notice and began requesting the same 'Palmer' beverage.
An 'Arnold Palmer' is a beverage of half iced tea and half lemonade. There are variations of this mix and some are spiked. The Arizona Arnold Palmer Lite is a concoction of brewed black tea, glucose, lemon juice, pear juice and some natural flavors plus additives. The beverage is light brown in color likely because lemon juice (acid) can alter the chemistry of tea and lightens it. It has a familiar lemon iced tea flavor.
