History
According to Arnold Palmer, he had a habit of drinking iced tea with lemonade at home, and in 1960 at the US Open at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, he ordered non-alcoholic drinks at the bar. A woman sitting nearby heard it, and ordered the "Palmer drink", giving her the name of the drink. In 2012, the ESPN documentary <30 30 Shorts was produced on drinks, featuring Palmer, a beverage expert, a group of PGA golfers and comedian Will Arnett who discussed the history and popularity of the drink. In the film, Palmer links the name of the drink to a similar incident in which a woman copies her drink order during lunch while working on a golf course in Palm Springs, California. Palmer prefers three parts of unsweetened tea, to one portion of lemonade, but when mixed with the same portion of tea and lemonade, this drink is sometimes called Half & amp; Half .
According to a waiter at Augusta's National Golf Club, Palmer ordered his drink by saying, "I'll have Mr. Palmer." When Palmer visited the Latrobe Country Club in his hometown, the staff at the snack shack served drinks to him or his wife, Kit, without being ordered. "Mr. Palmer should never have ordered a drink named after him."
