When was the last time you sat on your porch or somewhere outside and just relaxed? Considering this cold weather, it probably wasn’t recently. But with spring fast approaching, there will be plenty of days to enjoy the scenery. A drink of choice while porch sitting is the Arnold Palmer, named after the famous golfer who was overheard ordering it in a bar in Palm Springs. It is a light, refreshing half-tea and half-lemonade drink. Though it’s legendary for being the drink of choice after a game, with a splash of bourbon, it could be your kick-back cocktail.
