The Sparkling Arnold Palmer is a carbonated evolution of the classic half-iced-tea, half-lemonade combination named after legendary golfer Arnold Palmer (1929-2016), who became so associated with the drink that it was commercially bottled by Arizona Beverages. The original Arnold Palmer is a still drink, mixed in equal parts from the pitcher or glass. The Sparkling version substitutes sparkling water for still water in either the tea or lemonade component — or replaces the regular lemonade with sparkling lemonade — creating an effervescent variation that adds textural interest to the classic. The combination also suggests the Tom Collins cocktail structure (a spirit with lemon, sugar, and soda), positioning the Sparkling Arnold Palmer as a zero-proof option for guests who want something more animated than still iced tea but less sweet than commercial sodas.
