When it comes to being Southern, I play the part pretty well. I love college football, I will eat anything you can fry (which is everything, by the way), and I end every sentence with “y’all.” However, I do not care for sweet tea. Blasphemy, I know.
During my recent visit to the newest location of Portico in the Southdowns Center, the PGA Championship was fresh on my mind, so the Arnold Palmer Plus caught my eye.
Traditionally, an Arnold Palmer is a mix of half lemonade and half tea. It’s namesake is the American golfer/baller Arnold Palmer who is said to have ordered it at the 1960 US Open so many times that other people started ordering “that Palmer drink.” I can only dream of a day when that happens to me. “Yeah, I’ll take a Rivers Hughey—and make it a double.”
