The Arnold Palmer iced tea is named for the golfer Arnold Palmer. In southern states it’s sometimes called a Half and Half, or a Blend. The history of the Arnold Palmer iced tea is that one day at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado, Arnold Palmer asked the bartender to mix lemonade and iced tea together, as that was the way he liked to drink it while he was on tour. Other members started ordering it, as a refreshing drink after a game of golf, and its popularity grew from there.

Though ice tea has for a long time been hugely popular in America, it is also gaining in popularity all over the world. In Europe, both black tea and herbal teas are popular, and different countries have different variations on how it is prepared. Some cultures prefer fruit flavorings, while others add sugar and sometimes even milk. Most countries in Europe seem to prefer a sweetened ice tea, and unlike America, carbonated ice tea is quite popular in some European countries.
