Six years ago I was sitting at lunch with some fellow co-workers when the waiter/waitress came to take our drink orders. I ordered my usual water with lemon while everyone else got diet cokes, tea and an Arnold Palmer drink.

Arnold Palmer? I won’t lie at first I thought it was an alcoholic drink and I thought my co-worker was courageous for ordering it right in front of our boss. I kept quiet and as soon as we got back to the office I googled an Arnold Palmer. All I can say is I’m happy that I didn’t make a reference to an alcoholic beverage since I now know it’s just tea and lemonade mixed together.

I make this refreshing drink every now and then at home but decided to use some fresh rosemary from the garden to spruce it up and add some extra flavor. It’s a winning trio and I highly recommend that you try it out too. Plus you get to make lemonade from scratch and have it on hand for your guests.

All I need to do now is remember to order one when I’m out at restaurant. I still go for my lemon with water but every now and then I need to change it up.
