Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
Alright, here’s what we’re working with:
- 4 cups of iced tea
- 4 cups of fresh lemonade
- 1 cup of your favorite booze (vodka, rum, gin, or bourbon)
- Lemons and mint for garnish
- Ice cubes
And as for the equipment:
- A large pitcher
The fresh lemonade is key here, giving that honest fresh-squeezed citrus tanginess. Your choice of booze will definitely establish the cocktail’s character ��� each option will endow it with a different vibe. And never underestimate the power of garnish ��� it does not only make your drink look fancy, but it also adds subtle flavor notes.
Feel free to use store-bought iced tea and lemonade if needed, but I strongly advise brewing that tea yourself and squeezing some real lemons. Taste the difference!
How To Make Boozy Arnold Palmer
- Prepare your iced tea and let it cool down.
- Next, make the fresh lemonade. Take some lemons, squeeze them, add sugar to your taste, and mix with water.
- Get your large pitcher, start with the iced tea, and pour the fresh lemonade over it. Give it a good stir.
- Time for the booze! Pour it into the mix and stir again.
- Add ice to the pitcher or directly to the glasses.
- Garnishing time! Toss a slice or two of lemon and a sprig of mint into each glass or into the pitcher and it’s ready to serve. Cheers!

Storage Tips
- Keep the cocktail in the fridge if not consumed immediately. It stays good up to 2 days.
