Another Great Summer Drink: The Frozen Arnold Palmer

Here we go!

One of my all time favorite drinks is an Arnold Palmer; so I decided to make a boozy version for the blog!

If you are not familiar with an Arnold Palmer (no not the golfing great) it is a soft drink that is half ice tea and half lemonade. 

In this recipe I decided to keep it cool by freezing the lemonade portion of the drink. You can use a few methods to do this; you can simply blend some ice or like my example you can make a granita with the recipe below.

4 ounces of Vanilla Vodka
2 cups of water
1 cup of lemonade
2 ounces of lemon juice

The process is easy, mix all of the ingredients in a shallow pan and whack it into your freezer. After about two hours pull out the contents and scrape it down with a fork. Repeat this process until you have a constancy that is similar to shaved ice.

Of course you need ice tea as well here is how I spiced it up!

2 ounces of Sweet Tea Vodka
1 ounce of peach schnapps
6 ounces of fresh brewed iced tea 

Now all you need to do is scoop your lemonade pour your ice tea and enjoy!

Happy Summer Team
