Arnold Palmer

What ever happened to Jolt Cola?  "All the sugar - and twice the caffeine!"
Never was a soda tagline so forthright.

The Arnold Palmer, or Arnie, mixes iced tea with lemonade. Simple, refreshing, and like Jolt Cola, a supplier of both forms of liquid upper. When made with real lemonade and freshly brewed tea, it should come with a warning label: "Caution. Instantly addictive. Side effects include refreshment, a burst of energy, and a subsequent crash." 

Tonight I made a tall glass at home, but decided not to photograph it.  Apparently unfiltered Meyer lemon juice (leftover from pie-making) and homemade seltzer create a fairly murky mix.  Tastes great - but not so photogenic.  The perfect pairing for tonight's stir fry.
