Arnold Palmer. Odds are, if you are under the age of 40, you know how much his drink costs, but not how many green jackets the guy has. (That would be 4.) Anyway, Palmer's name has now become synonymous with the Lemonade-Iced Tea combo we all love. Whether it is at your local restaurant or out of an AriZona can, almost everyone has tasted this popular drink. But now, they've decided to exchange the traditional black tea for an asian flavor, using green tea instead. I don't mind green tea, and I love Arnold Palmer, so this can't be bad, right?
Color: Same color as regular Arnold Palmer, but a little lighter. Yeah, that would make sense, I guess. It also isn't clear like the normal one. This one is pretty turbid.
Smell: I guess because green tea has less smell than black tea, it makes sense that this has a very strong lemon, dull tea smell. Not quite Lysol, but very lemony.
Taste: It's really good, and is a nice variation off of the normal Arnold Palmer. The lemonade is the main flavor, but it still has some good tea flavor, and unlike the black tea, it has that green-tea-mouth-drying quality. Yeah, find the real word for that and I'll make sure to get you a can of this stuff. Because it's really good. Really. Good. That citrus flavor makes it refreshing, especially on a 90 degree day. The best thing about it though is that it isn't too far from the original flavor to make people stick solely to the original. People, it's just good. Pull the dollar out of your pocket now.
Rating: *****
Call me biased, but Arnold Palmer's name has not been tainted with this drink. Over Original? Ehhh... maybe. Just drink it. Now. Leave.
