Arnold Palmer 101: Cocktails for the 19th Hole

If for some reason you've been living under a rock and you haven't heard of Arnold Palmer and you haven't seen an Arizona Tea Arnold Palmer at your local corner store or gas station, you've been missing out.  No worries. We are here to enlighten you and quite possibly change your life. Arnold Palmer is considered one of the greatest players in professional golf history. He won 7 major championships. Palmer has been nicknamed " The King" because aside from being the sport's trailblazer, he was golf's first television age superstar. At the 1960 U.S. Open, Palmer ordered a non-alcoholic drink. A woman overheard him and ordered that "Palmer drink" coining the drink.
