Arnold Palmers are perfect 4th of July mixers

I’m from the South, but I had never heard of an Arnold Palmer until I moved back to Atlanta from a long stint in New England. At the time, I was writing a cocktail column for the AJC’s food section, and I remember featuring a local recipe from Atlanta restaurant South City Kitchen.

Their drink was a cocktail, though, with vodka blended into this neo-classic mix of equal measures of iced tea and lemonade, commonly referred to as a John Daly, after the boozing golfer and his antics.

There’s hardly a drink, save for the mint julep, that evokes the South more, though  “the King” actually hails from Pennsylvania. He supposedly asked for the mixture from a bartender after a golf game and was overheard by a woman nearby, who followed suit. The drink, and the story, became urban golf legend. No matter the origin, though we thank Arnie for it: the refreshing mix of two of summer’s greatest sips is good anywhere, anytime – but particularly delicious on the Fourth of July.

Classic Arnold Palmer

Who better to make lemonade than Life is Lemonade? Serve Arnold Palmers in pretty glasses with lemon wedges for a distinctive drink this Fourth of July.

Yield: 2 Quarts

1 quart Southern sweet iced tea (see below)

1 quart lemonade (see below)

Ice

Lemon wedges, for garnish

In a large two-quart pitcher, mix together the iced tea and lemonade. Place ice in glasses and pour the mixture over the ice. Garnish with lemon wedges.

For a John Daly: Add one ounce of vodka to each glass, shake, and serve.

For Southern sweet iced tea:

1 quart water

5 tea bags

1 cup superfine sugar

In a large pot, boil the water. Remove from the heat and add the tea bag and sugar. Cover and let steep for 20 to 30 minutes (longer if a stronger tea is desired). Remove the tea and stir well. Pour the tea over ice in glasses, or use is the Arnold Palmer, above.

For lemonade:

1 cup superfine sugar

1 cup water

1 ½ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 6 to 8 lemons)

3 ½ cups cold water

Ice

Lemon wedges, for garnish

In a large sauce pot, create a simple syrup by boiling the sugar and 1 cup water together just until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.

When the sugar syrup has cooled, add the lemon juice and water. Stir until well blended. When completely cool, pour over ice in glasses and garnish with a lemon wedge.
