It’s just like the one you loved from childhood, delicious lemonade and brewed tea in one awesome glass that reminds us all that summer is around the corner.

All the fun, none of the guilt! REFILL PLEASE! Grab your Blendtec or Vitamix to easily crush ice and make this simple Arnold Palmer concoction, and then sip a glass and and think about the awesome memories you’re going to make this season.
