From Sparrow’s juices and carbonated drinks list, the Arnold Palmer is the timeless half-and-half of iced tea and lemonade, equal parts refreshing and nostalgic ($4). It is a no-proof crowd-pleaser for the patio, the kids, and anyone driving home after.
About the Arnold Palmer
The Arnold Palmer is a classic American thirst-quencher, named for the legendary golfer who famously asked for iced tea mixed with lemonade. We pour ours over ice, balancing the gentle tannin of iced tea with the bright, sweet-tart snap of lemonade. It is the kind of drink that just works on a sunny afternoon on our four-season patio, and it is a great example of how a simple zero-proof option can still feel special.
Tasting Notes
Crisp and balanced, the Arnold Palmer leads with tart lemonade and finishes with the smooth, mellow character of iced tea. It is sweet but not cloying, and endlessly refreshing.
What to Pair It With
A cold Arnold Palmer is built for easygoing food. From the Sparrow menu, enjoy it with the Wagyu Sliders, the Honey Wings, or the Caesar Salad. It is also a brunch favorite next to Fried Chicken and Waffles out on the dog-friendly patio.
