Bourbon Arnold Palmers
When Friday afternoon rolls around, my thoughts start turning to what’s hitting the grill and what’s filling my glass for the weekend. I love a simple cocktail, especially one I can make pitcher-style to share when friends come over.
This recipe calls for my favorite sun tea, but you can easily substitute unsweetened iced tea. The glasses are dipped in a lemon sugar, and the drink is served over ice. The bourbon is subtle, and the Arnold Palmer signature combination of tea and lemonade makes this drink super refreshing.
This cocktail is dangerously good. Like sitting in your Adirondack chair and sipping away all evening dangerously good.
Perfect for a summer barbecue or a get together with friends, this is quickly becoming my favorite new summer cocktail.
