Arnold Palmer is a Starbucks beverage on the secret menu made of iced tea and lemonade. I have always enjoyed iced teas, so I was so pleased when I heard of the Starbucks Arnold Palmer. Every afternoon, I walk into the Starbucks coffee house across from where I live and order it.

Before this incredible discovery, I only ordered ordinary iced teas, but this drink has become my new addiction. This drink is impressive because it has few calories, and its sugar content is also not problematic. A Trenta Arnold Palmer only has 21 g of sugar and 90 calories!

Brief History of the drink

This drink was inspired by the famous American golfer Arnold Palmer, who always ordered it while on tour. The drink finally acquired the golfer’s name when a lady went to a golf club and asked for the ‘Arnold Palmer drink. I learned of the Starbucks Arnold Palmer drink while visiting my friend on his 30th birthday. He left for a while to get us drinks and finally returned with well-packed Trenta cups of the Starbucks Arnold Palmer for everyone to enjoy.
