Summertime SipsThis summer, relax and unwindby enjoying an Arnold Palmer,the refreshing beverage created

and loved by its legendarynamesake. According to the golf

great himself, he got the ideaone day at lunch to add

lemonade to his wife’s batch oficed tea, and he experimented

until he found the perfect ratio:2 parts iced tea to 1 partlemonade. Palmer begancarrying a thermos of the

concoction on courses andordering the mixed beverage inrestaurants, and the drink waseventually named after him.
