Nothing says Summer to me quite like an ice cold Arnold Palmer!
Are you familiar with this gloriously refreshing drink? It’s also been called a half & half, or an ice tea/lemonade, but we’ve always known it as the Arnold Palmer, so I’m sticking with it! The logistics of the drink consist of combining lemonade and ice tea, and it’s so darn simple to drink (and make) that I easily find myself consuming whole pitchers on my own in no time.
In this dolled up version I used spicy chai tea, and infused the lemonade with fresh ginger and maple syrup. It’s a true gem! And a necessity for those sweet, sticky days ahead.
If you’re a lover of light, refreshing beverages, your lips should get on this asap!
P.S. Can you believe tomorrow is the 4th!? Where is this year of ours going?
Have a safe, amazing day, loves! xo

This has “Reserve for Later” written all over it! Later, of course will be sometime this evening or tomorrow at the cottage where we will be spending the 4th. This version Mr. Palmer will be a welcome addition to our guest list. Happy holiday, Ashley!!
