Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The Arnold Palmer

One of the most refreshing summer drinks ever invented.


Take a highball glass or large water glass filled with ice cubes, then fill halfway with lemonade, then sweetened iced tea to fill so it looks a bit layered. Slice of lemon. Straw. That's it.


Add some gin or vodka and it's a Dirty Arnold Palmer, but it really isn't necessary.

The weird thing is that I, and most of my family, have done this for years - I can remember as kid my Maternal Grandmother making it for the annual family get together.

Missed opportunities. :>)

gin or vodka are always necessary.

My family and I always drink these when we go out--and often at home too. We find that depending on the lemonade used, it often works better to use a mix of sweet and unsweet tea (in some cases even just straight unsweet). But maybe mixing three beverages is a little over the top. ;)

Here in Texas we don't adulterate our sweet tea with lemonade and vice versa... :-)

An Arnold Palmer with vodka is appropriately referred to as a John Daly. Anyone slightly familiar with golf will understand why.
