Golf is making an extra big splash right now as an Olympic sport for the first time in 140 years.
Along with the fact that the PGA Tour Playoffs are underway this month, it has given us the hankering for a good ol’ Arnold Palmer. The traditional Arnold Palmer is the perfect mix of iced tea and tangy lemonade. Check out these great recipes to make your own version of this classic drink at home, with a boozy touch!
