Boozy Arnie Palmers
Look! Another cocktail that isn’t pink! The world must be ending since I have a serious affinity for all the pink cocktails.
I do mean all of them. There’s a 90 percent possibility that any cocktail recipe I share is pink. For example:
- Raspberry Rose Sorbet
- Pomegranate Wine Spritzers
- Christmas Cranberry Cocktails
- Sparkly Raspberry Champagne Spritzers
See what I mean? I really like pink cocktails. But lemon cocktails give them a run for their money. Last spring I was all about these boozy lemonade slushies. This summer? I started off loving frozen pineapple mimosas but I’ve moved on. Boozy Arnie Palmers all the way.
What is an Arnie Palmer?

Boozy Arnie Palmers
An Arnie Palmer is half lemonade and half iced tea. The golfer Arnie Palmer often ordered this combination to drink, hence its name. It’s like the lemoniest iced tea. Super yummy.
How do I make an adult version of this drink?

Boozy Arnie Palmers
Since I always have a pitcher of homemade iced tea in my fridge, this cocktail combination was not a stretch for us. I used my homemade iced tea and filled up a glass with 8 ounce. Then I added an ounce of limoncello and another shot of lemon vodka. Then I stirred and garnished with lemon. That’s it. Super easy peasy. And super delicious to enjoy sipping on a patio on a warm summer evening.
Don’t I need to add lemonade?

Boozy Arnie Palmers
Well, it depends. My homemade iced tea has a lot of lemon juice in it. If you are using tea that doesn’t have lemon in it, then yes, in that case I would do 2/3 cup of iced tea and 1/3 cup lemonade. I wouldn’t do half and half because you get lots of lemon flavor from the liquor.
That’s it! There’s not much to it before you’re enjoying these cocktails outside this summer. Cheers!
