Hey friends! So it is summer in Texas, which means it is HOT HOT HOT (today's high temp is forecasted a toasty 103). Staying cool and hydrated is a priority if you want to avoid being a total sweaty grumpster! Since kicking the Diet Coke habit a week or two ago, I've found a new, refreshing beverage of choice. Enter the Arnold Palmer: half lemonade, half iced tea, all delicious. BTW, a quick internet search revealed that there are canned Arnies available. Blarrrgghh! Nothing less than homemade for this treehouse-dweller! What is your favorite frosty beverage for the summer?
So far this summer my favorite drink has been a large ice water with lemon or lime from the Sonic. I don't like tea but do still love a Diet Coke or Pepsi but they are not good thirst quinchers. Keep cool, Keep drinking!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer drink is an ice cold glass of water with fresh lime or a glass of iced tea also with lime. Either way it needs to have crushed ice - boy I love that crushed ice!
ReplyDeleteOohh- I agree! Crushed ice, or even the little ice pellets at some restaurants (e.g. Sonic) can make an ordinary drink delicious!
ReplyDeleteLiving in Texas as long as I have, I've never become a tea drinker -- sweet or "unsweet." (Does that bother anyone other than me?) However, when mixed with some lemonade it might be more palatable...
ReplyDeleteI must admit that when I heard the name of your drink, I felt certain that there would be a stiff shot of something manly included. Bourbon? Whiskey? (Are those the same? I'm not much of a drinker...)
Anyway, have you tried it over smunchy ice from Sonic? Sound fabulous!
As for myself, I'll just have a crystal light raspberry lemonade!
Arnold Palmers are good. I had never heard of them till I moved up here in New York. Seems to be quite popular here. You know what else is HUGE here? Arizona Iced Tea, and Snapple. haha. I thought that was funny. Every store has a huge selection of both. It's hot here, too. HUMID! I finally got an AC unit put in the other day! So that means only my bedroom is cool. Cool photo!
ReplyDeleteCranberry juice slush from Sonic or an Arnold Palmer!
