Arnold Palmer Recipe

Lemonade and Tea ( Add a lil kick of limoncello - if you want)




arnold palmer recipe This Arnold palmer recipe has two versions. The basic standard one. It's real simple and non-alcoholic.

And then the grown-up version. It has limoncello which is just an Italian lemon cordial. A cordial is a sweet alchoholic drink. So - using limoncello doesn't give it the tartness - just the flavor.

The Limoncello Recipe is simple to make and cheaper than the $30 USD to purchase. Just a thought.



Here's what I do since I have a house ful of kids - I make a pitcher of the basic Arnold Palmer Recipe. I pour the kids glasses first. And I add limoncello to the glasses for those of us that WANT a kick. All it takes for the grown-up version is 1-2 ozs of limoncello per 8 ozs.

Is there a special trick to ice tea?

Actually - yeah. I learned this from my former boss who is a North Carolina gal.

  • Boil your water first


  • Add the tea bag to the water and pull it off the burner.


  • Let the mixture cool about 5 minutes.


  • Then pour it in a pitcher with a lid.


  • Add the sugar.


  • And put the lid on.


  • My personal deviation here is - I remove the tea bag after 5 minutes of steeping. My friend doesn't.


  • Isn't this just lemonade and ice tea?

    Basically yeah. Makes ya mad when you pay over $3.00 at a restaurant for one, doesn't it?

    Can I use canned or bottled lemonade?

    You "can". BUT I hate anything bottled or canned when fresh is sooooo easy peasy.

    When I was building my site last year I had no idea how to add a print button to each recipe! Well I just kept cooking. Now it's a year later.

    To add a button to each of my 150+ recipes at this point would be a TON of work. And really, I'd rather cook and try more recipes.

    So, I came up with a solution. I've set up my most viewed recipes to automatically hit your inbox when you fill out the form below on that particular recipe page.

    So - you will see this option on the most popular pages. Thanks for understanding - and enjoy the sweet pleasure sugar brings!
