Why it Works

The classic Arnold Palmer is a refreshing, sweet mix of iced tea and lemonade. It’s the perfect herbaceous, sweet, and thirst quenching combination!

Ever since I was a teenager, I couldn’t get enough of the stuff! And now as an adult, I’m taking it up a notch by making it boozy!

It’s a great drink to enjoy in a frosty glass on a hot day. It’s also good for whenever you decide to have an impromptu celebration just because. It’s the Fruity, Boozy Arnold Palmer!

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 large glasses

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened iced tea
  • 2 cups lemonade
  • 1 1/2 cup white wine (I used pinot grigio because I had it open)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1/2 peach, sliced
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 lemon, divided in two
  • 20 mint leaves

Instructions

  • In a small pan, heat water, sugar, ginger, peaches and strawberries. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low and cook down for about 5 minutes.
  • This will make a quick infused simple syrup, and it can be made a day in advance and kept chilling in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
  • Strain the fruit and set aside. Pour the syrup into a large pitcher, then add lemonade, iced tea, and white wine. Juice 1/2 lemon and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Fill glasses with 1/3 cup of the fruit mixture and a few mint leaves and muddle in each glass. Add a few ice cubes to each glass, then fill each from the pitcher. Slice the remaining 1/2 lemon and garnish each glass with a slice.

    This looks SO refreshing! I see some porch sipping with my husband in the near future with these drinks! 🙂

    1. Thanks Amanda! It was really light and not super heavy on the alcohol, just nice and sweet for the summertime. Hope you enjoy!
