For those who may recall, the Arnold Palmer was a non-alcoholic drink that made a splash in the late 1960’s and 1970s. Half tea, half lemonade, it was simple but refreshing. 10 Barrel Brewing out of Oregon offers a line of ready-to-drink canned cocktails that pretty much hit their mark. Their Golf Tea is a riff on the Arnold Palmer, made with iced tea, lemonade and vodka. The vodka and tea flavors are dominant but not aggressive, with light citrus notes from the lemonade. This is a poolside cocktail not a, “I don’t remember Saturday night,” cocktail. It’s fairly simple and straightforward but it tastes exactly like it should. It’s light and refreshing, just like Mr. Palmer would have liked. 91
